Laid in is a typed letter signed on "New Republic" letterhead from Robert Brustein to critic and New York University professor Oscar Cargill. The excellent content of the letter, which is dated 3 February 1965 and signed in full, includes thanks to Cargill for his close reading of the book and his generous remarks, as well as some discussion of the chapters on Sartre and Genet. "I do admit that Genet enjoyed the final chapter of the book not so much because of his central importance--which is less than that of most of the others--but because of a certain formal design that I had in mind. You were very clever to see that." He goes on to ask "How is Robert Corrigan working out?.. I hear all kinds of interesting rumors about a creative arts program being started at NYU.." Corrigan was in fact instrumental in forming Tisch School of the Arts at NYU and became its first dean. In the early 1960s Cargill had attempted to lure the young Robert Brustein to NYU and away from his professorship at Columbia and his position as drama critic for the New Republic. Brustein, however, opted to remain at Columbia, later moving to Yale and then to Harvard. Very good .

George Robey writes to novelist Hall Caine profusely thanking him for sending him the manuscript of an Address to be read at the charity event, and for having it bound for auction. "I have asked [Mr. Sutcliffe] to be kind enough to let you have it first, in order that you may put your signature on the title page..I will get Miss Vanbrugh [who is to read the address] to sign it on Sunday, and also put my own name and any other people connected with the concert who may be of interest..I feel sure that in addition to helping the collection that night your generous gift will realise a large sum on its own account.."
George Robey [1869-1954], English comedian, singer and actor in musical comedy, is regarded as one of the greatest music hall performers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Hall Caine [1853-1931 was a Manx author best known as a novelist and playwright. In his day he was extremely popular and his novels outsold those of his contemporaries. His works were mainly romances but also addressed some of the more serious political and social issues of his time. Good .

Schnitzler's works were often controversial, both for their frank descriptions of sexuality and for their strong stand against anti-Semitism. After the opening of his play "Reigen", he was branded a pornographer. However, the State Court at Berlin determined that the work came across as a criticism of modern amorality and was therefore fit to be seen by the public. The Max Ophuls film "La Ronde", based on the play, met with considerable success in the English-speaking world.
