Date: 1898, Sept., 12 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: Writing as friendship is now of some year's duration. Her daughter, Irene, has a perfect mania for the stage. She would do better to stay at home and help and learn the value of money but young people are wilful. Irving must be inundated wth enquiries from aspiring actresses. Please consider letter unwritten if unable to help. An ever so small opening would do. She is graceful and carries herself beautifully. Looks forward to Irving being back at the Lyceum - it never seems itself when he is not there.
