March 9 Wednesday – Sam’s notebook in Mentone, France:

Mentone, Mch. 9. Letter from Alfred Arnold proposing to dramatize Sellers [AC] for Crane, I to have “half of the revenue from the play;” no contract for its production to be made without my sanction of terms, &c; I to approve play or it not to be produced. Says he dramatized “Dr. Rameau” & has had experience.

Answered that if my other offer comes to nothing, shall be glad to take the matter with him again.

His address is 679 Madison ave [NB 31 TS 32] Note: Georges Ohnet’s Dr. Rameau (1889).
