From the book Letters of J.M. Barrie edited by Viola Meynell, 1947
6 June 1916: I have not heard from Miss Adams yet about the Professor's Love Story, and suggest to you that your New York representative should take up the matter of Arliss doing it, explaining that this is subject to Miss Adams not doing it. I don't see how she can, with Cinderella in future and Little Minister doing still between 2,000 and 3,000 (pounds) weekly.
16 January 1921: As to Miss Adams, all you need say to Dillingham is that there is no one for whom I should like to write a play so much, but I am not doing any play at all just now. However she knows all this herself.
13 February, 1919: Miss Adams not well, hasn't been playing for months and won't before autumn. It makes a mighty difference in my income
17 October 1920: It is settled now between the Frohman Co. and Miss Adams that she does not play Mary Rose. Sad to me, but I can see they couldn't hit it off together.
