Jacobs has read the letters written by them on behalf of their client, Sir Wolfit. Thinks the matters raised can be solved by mutual cooperation. It is clear that if by 19 Sep. no London theatre has been secured Sir Wolfit is entitled to give two weeks' notice and terminate his engagement. His clients are actively engaged in negotiations to secure a London theatre. They have contracted to present the play at Newcastle, Dublin, Brighton and Wolverhampton, as agreed with Wolfit, and so cannot agree to replace him after the Dublin presentation. He must honour his obligations.

Thanks Minster for his encouraging comments. Justifies his right to intransigence in the interest of the play. Criticizes Wolfit for inserting big speeches of his own into the play without Beaton's agreement. Would prefer that the play did not go to London. He will try to be as civil as possible to Wolfit during the photo call. Feels that he does not have the support of Seale as he ought. Is ready to rewrite the play to include Seale's proposed improvements but wants Wolfit and Seale to respect his text. Asks Minster what time it would be convenient for them to meet with Seale.
