My dear Barrett: –
How friendly (in its German sense: freundschaftlich) of you to take this trouble and to send Mr. Loeffler to a rehearsal of the Machine Wreckers. God spare you from other authors with similar requests. Please give my best thanks also to Mr. Loeffler. The report is encouraging.
I want to combine my trip to New York with a trip to Detroit to settle my immigration matter. If the immigration matters can be arranged in time I shall come to New York on Thursday or Friday and I hope of course to see you.
Strange as this may seem I have never seen a production of Machine Wreckers and it may also be a strange experience to look at one of one’s early plays, written in one’s twenties with the eyes of a man in the early forties.
The “earthly” climate in Hollywood is beautiful, even the desert is in bloom. The intellectual climate has a rather long winter sleep – if it is a sleep. –
With kindest regards
Yours ever,
Ernst Toller.
Barrett H. Clark, Esq.,
