Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This undated, unsigned autograph draft of a letter is written to Mr. Lewell Collins discussing money matters related to the writing of one of Bennett's plays. "I wrote the book -- 50%. You do the play -- 50%. If you cannot do the play, why should I lower my percentage? Still, I quite recognize that in interesting Mr. Knoblauch (Knoblock) in the play you have interested a man of exceptional skill in such matters." Bennett collaborated with Edward Knoblock on a number of plays, among them Milestones (1912), London Life (1924), and Mr. Prohack (1927, based on his novel). Bennett may very well be referring to the latter play in this letter.
