My Dear Friend
You tell me that if I give you leave you can weave a story about me that will interest your readers. If that be so, you have my full permission to tell it, and it will please me to do anything in my power to assist you in your work. Whilst writing about me you will, I am sure, speak of those with whom I have been closely associated in my acting life, and make mention of the affectionate regard in which I hold them.
Your intimate knowledge of all that concerns the stage will at least keep you right as to the facts of your pages.
I suppose I must leave the fancy of them in your hands.
Yours cordially,
ELLEN TERRY.
