The photograph presented at this URL is of a modified printed postcard the ninety-two-year-old Shaw sent to order 150 more “copies as amended.” It reads in part: “Mr. Bernard Shaw’s readers and the [End Page 231] spectators at performances of his plays number many thousands. The little time remaining to him at his age is fully occupied with his literary work and the business it involves; and war taxation has set narrow limits to his financial resources. He has therefore to print the following warnings [add “intimations”]. He cannot engage . . . advise . . . discuss . . . receive. . . . He will not send messages. He begs to be excused accordingly. Ayot Saint Lawrence, Welwyn, Herts.”
