Did you see our young portraits
in June Harper and what
Howells said of me, so kind.
You speak kindly of Lorry, and
he deserves it, he is very gifted,
charming in manner when he
chooses he fascinates his old Mother
But he is having a hard time
his profession is arduous, in a few
weeks last season, he acted in
eighty towns and averaged two
hundred miles a day - but he
carried off the honors, I am one
happy and you four happy.
We shall be back on 15th by
the first Sept. I hope you have seen
Stedmans beautiful tribute to S - who
felt it deeply.
Yours truly
Elizabeth Stoddard
