Cotterill wrote the play. “A Professional Socialist” published in 1908, the year of Shaw’s note to her. She began a correspondence with Shaw in 1905 after he replied to her letter inspired by one of his plays. While he offered advice on writing as well as tickets to some of his plays, her letters to him suggest a growing fantasy relationship with Shaw. Well after their correspondence ended, he worried that she might turn up again. This brief note was written during their period of correspondence.
