| Content Summary: | Thanks for Box for next Monday. Her husband, (Theodore Martin) wants Irving to know how much he admired 'Charles I'. She admires his conception of the character but suggests in the last scene that the children should droop down on the window cushion. She was shocked to see them looking at such a pageant; the memory would stay with them. Asks forgiveness for the suggestion. Would have supported him in approaching benefit but felt she would be superfluous. Could Irving do anything for a poor member of the Gl (General?) Theatrical Fund? The directors are fit for nothing. | ||
