She was not priviledged to be at the Lyceum Presentation, but is one of many thousand outsiders who love and acclaim Irving, who is kind to his brother and sister artists. Congratulations. She regrets her late husband did not live to see Irving acknowledged at the head of the profession he has helped to raise. |
