Letter
Dear Miss Edith Wattson,
I thank you heartily for your very kind letter. I wonder if you have seen the new cast perform. There is a press night on Thursday next at the Haymarket. I send a card for two seats in case. On the whole I think the second cast is better than the first — though, as you say, Waller is always excellent. With renewed thanks.
- Yours very truly,
- Arthur Conan Doyle.
