Letter to singer-actress Peggy Wood, in part: \"I saw by the papers, \u0026amp;, last night, lear'd from Cockie, that you rehearsing in the Cat \u0026amp; the Fiddle. I can't tell you how happy I am. It's a great show \u0026amp;, I'm sure, even better for London than for New York. And you will make a great person of that part. I have been so worried about you. And this is the reason I write you. For no one ever behaved as beautifully as you did during the long delays of our dead Star Dust. If I can, I shall be there to cheer you on your opening night.\" In fine condition.
