Summary
Inviting him to a performance of "Antony & Cleopatra" in May; saying Lewis Campbell will play Antony and she will play Cleopatra and "...we hope Mr. Stevenson - Dolabella;" saying "Do you know that your two visits gave me - us - the very greatest pleasure? My lot seems to be, to be ever far away form my friends - But it is very nice when I do see them...This is no letter - It is but an advertisement of my play. Will you write me? I think I should have heard if there had been any great news - but pray write."
