SHAW, George Bernard (1856-1950). Playwright.
Two questionaires submitted to Shaw in the form of letters from the Daily Mail, with annotations by Shaw, 4 pages various sizes, 5 and 20 July 1946.

The first letter, on two sides, submits six questions, to only the first of which (whether it is true that he will receive a party of well-wishers from Dublin on his 90th birthday) has Shaw given a response ('Nothing settled yet / GBS / 8/7/46'). The second letter, on a smaller sheet, proposes only four questions, the first again about his birthday celebrations (still nothing settled) and the others eliciting more typical responses:
[Is it true that he had discarded the beginning of his latest play?] 'I don't know. I write my plays as they come, quite unplanned'.
[How will he keep his mind occupied etc.] 'I am never at a loss for something to do. Have you any notion of the mass of business my works involve. Count them'.
[Has he been approached about a film on the life of Dickens?] 'No'.
