". . . I am so glad you are being so energetic about the play. Don't let the men get the best of it in the big scene. I think its better to make Gladys madly in love with the artist if you make him one, but I should be inclined to make him a Lord Burghersh [&] an eldest son. I think the sympathy would be greater, & artists are rather too much used on the stage."
