Summary
Sending his love to her sister, Gwendolen, and his regards to her father; hoping her father will forward a letter Carroll sent him to the Archdeacon concerning a "Dramatic School" meeting; saying "The idea I formed of him, when I had the pleasure of meeting him chez vous, was that he would be likely to make a genial and effective speech. To conclude, ca'n't any of you, or of your lady-friends, send me a few lists of Shakespeare-plays, suitable for my Girls' Shakespeare? I want to get as many separate lists as possible."
