"Edward Martyn" (Martyn, Edward, 1859-1924.) Subject: Irish theatre, Irish drama, Irish politics, Irish language. AE; George Moore. Precis: I give up my claim to the dresses in your favour since you have been storing and moving them. Enclose Russell's [AE's?] letter wishing them to be sent to 22 Lincoln Place. I am not responsible for the contents of The Leader, but political correctness is less important than my goal of nation building. Splits paralyze this lost land. I regret letting [George] Moore cobble my play into The Bending of the Bough to keep the Irish Literary Theatre alive. The importance of the Irish language: my misfortune in not being master of my natural language.
