Summary
Saying how pleased she is to hear from him but sorry to hear he's been ill; saying she "...shall be glad of your play - It's about time too - Where does it appear? I should feel favored of a copy & will try to be a 'first nighter' - a thing I rarely am.

He never Changes. & He is not He - but Spirit - Life & Love."
