Shaw informs Pinker that in response to an American magazine's inquiry about publishing one of his plays, Caesar and Cleopatra, that the play has been on the market for 12 years but the magazine can certainly pay him if they want to publish it anyway. He also tells Pinker that he already has an agent in America who should have the first opportunity to distribute Androcles, but if Pinker wants to make an off~r for England, Shaw would be open to the idea. t Shaw, George Bernard #738 1/3/05 Preliminary Listing
