We joined the Garrick & Beefsteak Clubs where we dined together with so many of our Theatre Friends Inc. Wyndham Irving Alexander Hare & Kendal to name a few. , & Pinero, Barrie, Marshall, Sutro, Hay &c & many other Dramatists.'

Signed with an indecipherable pet signature. 2pp., landscape 12mo. Regarding the forthcoming performance he asks him to instruct his 'Adv[ertisin]g. Manager' to mention him, 'as I see he has not done so in the D[aily] T[elegraph]. today. These matters to me are quite trivial, but I should not like anyone to think that I had not rallied to your forces at the matinée'. He continues with some requests regarding the programme, and in a postscript tells Maude that he has 'Been to Town to introduce to the listeners on the BBC. overseas "The Importance of being Ernest".'
