Two Letters and two postcards from G. B. Shaw to T. J. Wise, and one letter to Wise from Blanche Patch, Shaw's secretary (B1521); 7 Nov. 1916-13 July 1933. The letters chiefly concern George Borrow (B1518), the bibliography of Shaw's Heartbreak House (published 1919. See F. E. Loewenstein, The Rehearsal Copies of Bernard Shaw's Plays, 1950) (B1517, B1521), bibliographies of Shaw's works (A1525), and the correspondence of Shaw with Ellen Terry (A4011) (for Ellen Terry's letters see Add. MSS. 43800-43802). The letters also illustrate Wise's gifts of his publications to Shaw, and his efforts to secure rehearsal copies of Shaw's plays. For further letters from Shaw to Wise see B1529, B4019. Ashley Library Catalogue, v, pp. [21, 22], 208; [viii, p. 188]; xi, p. 106.
