Could Irving let Miss Ashwell off being a corpse on Saturday? She opens there (Cambridge) at 8 and she has to catch the 5pm from St Pancras - if she misses, a terrible fiasco. Irving has been so kind to release her to play Saturday afternoon on 1st June - could he release her from the Thursday? He explains. |

She asks for a seat for 'King Arthur' at the Saturday matinée. She is now very frail but would like to go before she travels to the sea. She comments on the trying atmosphere of the theatre in hot weather. They have both been ill and only pencilled notes passed between her and Sir Theodore for some time. Sir Theodore was the first to recover and get out into the air. |
