Three postcards, good condition with postal marks. Text: "I must thank you with all my heart of the splendid review in The New Statesman including the delightful little allusion to my Selected Passages [ Selected passages from the works of Bernard Shaw ; Chosen by Charlotte F. Shaw. ... Published: London : Constable, 1912]. It was more than satisfactory that you should specially have picked out the dissection of [Ibsen's] 'When we dead awaken - as that is my [underlined] particular hobb7y! It is a good play - but you have to get it in focus. It was 8 years before I could get GBS to do that! | I hope we shall see you when we get back. Did you see 'Androcles' last night? If you did it would be more than kind of you to tell me (on a postcard!) what you think of it. | I am doing a 'cure' for asthma here." Views of Mont-Dore on the recto of the postcard.
