ALS signed “G. Bernard Shaw,” one page, 3.5 x 5.5, October 10, 1905. Letter to E. J. Flynn, in part: "I am afraid it is quite impossible for me to write an article for Cosmopolitan, though I quite appreciate the handsome terms of the invitation. But my new play is on the verge of rehearsal; and it is not yet finished. That, and a very heavy pressure of business makes it impossible for me to put aside my present work and write a really good article on the subject suggested. For the moment the letter written by me for the New York press must suffice…I shall not forget the invitation you have been kind enough to forward to me." In fine condition, with a small crease to the upper right corner tip. Shaw is presumably referencing his three-act play Major Barbara, which would premiere at London's Court Theatre at the end of November.
