Scope and Content Information

This letter from T.S. Eliot, Faber and Faber Limited Publishers stationery, London, to Miss Elizabeth Barber of the League of Dramatists, London, discusses the production of Murder in the Cathedral, "These Spaniards seem to have been considering the production of Murder in the Cathedral for a good number of years now, and I wonder whether anything will come of it. I have no particular views in the matter, but of course I should be glad if a Spanish production could be arranged. So far as I know, it has only been produced by some students at Valencia." He also sends two other applications which he recently received; one from the Piccolo Teatro of Milan, Italy, and another from Tel Aviv, Israel. A note that the letter was acknowledged by telephone to Mr. Eliot's secretary on June 9th is typed on the upper right side of the letter.
