Executive Director, Dramatists Play Service

New York, N. Y.,

Dear Barrett: –

I am sending you enclosed a copy of a letter which I received from Eric S. Pinker and Adrienne Morrison Incorporated. I am very content that Vassar College will do “No More Peace” and I agree also to the proposed fee.

Be so kind to wire Mr. Lang of the Experimental Theatre in Vassar.

Thank you for your letter of December 18th. I leave it entirely to you to deal with the Theatre Guild but please do not consider any compromise. I think it is amazing that Mr. Munsell does not make the slightest attempt to settle the matter and that he did not in spite of his promise send a statement regarding “Man & Masses.”

To-morrow afternoon at 5.30 I leave on the Twentieth Century for California. I should be very glad if you could give me a ring in the morning.

Kindest regards, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Yours ever,

Ernst Toller.

P. S. Hiram Motherwell of the Federal Theatre Project would like to acquire “Machine Wreckers” for production. Is that not splendid? I informed him to get in touch with Brandt & Brandt. But what about Swerdlow’s production for the Old Neighborhood Play House. My address in California is:
