Ayot St Lawrence, Welwyn, Herts, 1921 January 30. To Karel Musek, Prague II, Czechoslovakia (Bohemia). In full: It is necessary for me to know how much of that 25,896.00 crowns was interest (%) and how much principal.

It would probably save you trouble if the Bank had my London address, as it would then send me a statement every half year. The Anglo-Austrian Bank of Budapest, where I have a similar arrangement, always does so. Addressed by Shaw on verso. Shaw began writing plays in 1892. His first, Widowers' Houses, voiced his opinions on society and world reform.

Throughout his 58 years as a playwright, Shaw, who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925, covered many topics, letting his humor speak for itself. His other major works include You Never Can Tell (1895), Man and Superman (1902), Major Barbara (1905), The Doctor's Dilemma (1906) and Saint Joan (1923). Karel Musek was a Czech actor and director at the Prague National Theater. He was also the theater columnist and historian.

He was married to Alice Hillstead of London. Alice taught English in Prague. He obtained exclusive authorization to translate Shaw's works into Czech and established Shaw in the Czech theater. He also worked with many others including John Millington Synge, W. Somerset Maugham, and James Barrie.
