Scope and content
Coign, Woking; addressed to Elizabeth Trevelyan at the Shiffolds and forwarded on to Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - In answer to Mrs Trevelyan's enquiries, she herself paid W. W. Jacobs, the writer of a story ["The Boatswain's Mate"] from which she made a libretto; she paid him a third in England and a quarter in Germany (as there she had to pay for the translation). Since her 'old friend Julius [Röntgen] has to pay for the translation into Dutch', she expects Baroness Orczy's literary agents would agree to 25 per cent [for the use of her novel "The Laughing Cavalier" as the basis for the libretto to Rontgen's "De Lachende Cavalier"; Mrs Trevelyan is welcome to quote her. Apologises for not replying sooner, as she was away from home over Christmas.
