". . . I was delighted to hear that you were playing the Constant Wife & I bitterly regret that I arrived here too late to see your performance. Everyone I have spoken to about it here agrees that it was perfect. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to you. It is a great pleasure to me to know that you are playing all over Germany a play that after all these years I can still think of with satisfaction. Plays are very ephemeral & I know that if they endure more than a season or two it is owing to the talent & charm of the leading actor or actress. Thank you."
