Mrs. Virginia Woolf

52 Tavistock Square

London, W.C.1

May 6, 1930.

Dear Mrs. Woolf:

I am enclosing three copies of the contract for the dramatic rights of ORLANDO, signed by Mrs. Metcalf, who is the person who plans to make the dramatization. James Whittaker, whose name appears in Clause 6, is to collaborate in the dramatization.

These agreements are along the lines of the proposed agreements submitted to me at the time I cabled you. As far as I know, the terms are the usual ones, and I believe the agreement is all right; at any rate, you are sure of $500, and it it might turn out to mean a good deal more.

If you will send back two of the copies with your signature, they promise to pay the $500 upon delivery of the signed copies. I will arrange to have the Ann Watkins office send this to you direct. You will see we are not appearing in this at all except, of course, in a friendly way whenever you wish us to.

With kind regards, | Yours sincerely, | Donald Brace [signature]
