| Content Summary: |
They always find Irving kind and friendly. They greatly enjoyed the previous night. Doricourt and Letitia are in different ways fascinating, as though in old novels - charming with an undercurrent of tenderness. Present day fiction prefers rough exteriors, rude manners and general ugliness. She prefers old fashioned beauty and courtesy. She is writing to the lovely Portia [Ellen Terry] and looking forward to the next Saturday with excitement. The Spottiswoode boys send grateful messages. |
