Scope and Contents

"Dear Mrs. Bland, The Director of Programmes has passed your letter to me, as I was the producer of The Edwardians and thus of 'E. Nesbit'. We are extremely sorry if this play caused you disappointment and distress. Ken Taylor, the writer, took most of his material from the biography by Doris Langley Moore. What you have to tell us in the letter is very interesting but we did not, alas, know that you were available to discuss the project at the writing stage..."
