"Dear Dr. Witz
I am much to blame for my long delay in sending you an omnibus agreement covering all your very handsome editions of the Trebitsch translations. But I have it in mind, and hope to settle it before the end of the year at latest. We are agreed as to the terms.
Do not comunicate with Mr. A. D. He is a friend of mine privately; but publicly he is a State official of the [illegible] and must not be appreached in any way that could possibly be misunderstood. Books must be addressed to the [illegible] and not to him personally.
Better take no action.
G. Bernard Shaw"

George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright and critic born on July 26, 1856 in Dublin, Ireland. He is best known for his numerous plays, including "Pygmalion" and "Saint Joan," which have had a lasting impact on theatre and literature.
Shaw began his career as a music and theatre critic before transitioning to playwriting in the late 19th century. His early works were often satirical in nature, addressing social and political issues of the time.
One of Shaw's most famous works, "Pygmalion," was first performed in 1913 and later adapted into the highly successful musical "My Fair Lady." The play explores themes of class and identity through the story of a professor who transforms a Cockney flower girl into a society lady.
Shaw was a staunch advocate for women's rights and social reform, and his works often reflected his progressive beliefs. He was a member of the Fabian Society, a socialist group that sought to bring about social change through peaceful means.
In addition to his writing, Shaw was also a prominent public speaker and campaigner for various causes, including vegetarianism and the simplification of English spelling. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925 for his contributions to the world of literature.
George Bernard Shaw passed away on November 2, 1950 in Ayot St. Lawrence, Hertfordshire, England. His legacy lives on through his timeless plays and essays, which continue to inspire and provoke thought in audiences around the world.
