Dear Moor, 

In my last letter I quite forgot to mention money; owing to Schor- 
lemmer’s presence I have been somewhat restricted in my 
movements. You can now have £100 @ £120, and it’s simply a ques- 
tion of whether you want it all at one go and how much is to be sent 
there and how much is for here. When you get this letter, make up 
your mind straight away so that I get your answer by tomorrow. For 
Schorlemmer and Pumps are going to the theatre tomorrow evening, 
while | shall remain at home. I can then at once make out a cHEQUEin 
favour of Lenchen and take it to her. You or your wife can of course 
decide what is to be done with the money. 

Tussy and Dolly Maitland acted very well; the girl showed a great 
deal of self-possession and looked quite charming on the stage. Tussy 
was very good in the emotional scenes, though it was somewhat ap- 
parent that she had taken Ellen Terry for her model, as Radford had 
Irving, but she’ll soon wean herself from that; if she really wants to 
make her mark in public she must unquestionably strike OUT A LINE OF 
HER OWN, and she’ll do that all right. 

I hear that the sea air has not yet had the desired effect on your 
wife; that often happens in the early days; it may, and I trust will, 
come later. 

Pumps is going to Manchester with Schorlemmer on Monday* to 
bring back little Lydia; I hear you have written to Tussy asking her to 
join you. I may perhaps come later when Pumps is back. We shall 
probably be going to Bridlington Quay !°! shortly and then to Jersey 
with Schorlemmer when he returns from Germany; at any rate that’s 
what we’ve planned to date. 

Best wishes from us all to your wife and yourself. 

Your 
F. E.
