Yattendon. - Has no advice to offer on the publication of Trevelyan's play: explains how his own association with Smith Elder came about; does not think a drama is likely to sell, and is scathing about the lack of literary merit of what is usually seen on the London stage; does not think Smith Elder would sell it any better than other publishers, nor does he know on what grounds they might accept or reject it; is sure Trevelyan has many friends in London who could offer better advice. Wishes he had time to read the play himself; has not yet read Mrs Woods' drama ["The Princess of Hanover"], which his wife says is very good. That is published by Duckworth, of whom he hears well and recommends considering.
