Writing from Manchester during rehearsals for a play by Laurence Barrett, mentioning Henry Irving and that she hears that Elsa Craig is married.

Concerning a forthcoming work: ". . . I did not understand that Mr. Lane's absence was more than temporary. . . . I should have called and consulted with you with respect to the proofs; those which were sent to me were certainly faulty as regards the frontispiece; & I have written to Folkards about them. . . . [I]f better proofs come into your hands . . . perhaps the authorities would allow you to substitute a new proof for the present one sent in. . . . The afternoon I called on them they had done nothing; had not even opened my letter with corrections sent the night before. I had therefore nothing to report to you. It may be safer for me to see one more proof of the title-page before it is finally passed."
