A word on behalf of a clever great friend sure to succeed as a novelist, and doing well as a journalist as London Correpondent of the 'Edinburgh Evening Dispatch'. Will he put her on first night list? Miss Venne has not asked but regrets writing reviews from other papers. She has written a play sometimes performed and is part author of a play bought by Mr Hastings, and a monologue she wants Irving to see. Can she send it? She wishes she could come to the 25th silver fête but Arthur [her husband] has been ill and returns on Wednesday. She has not been well but would like to see some plays. |
