DEAR KONSTANTIN SERGEYITCH,

Of course the scenery for III. and IV. can be the same, the hall and the

staircase. Please do just as you like about the scenery, I leave it

entirely to you; I am amazed and generally sit with my mouth wide open at

your theatre. There can be no question about it, whatever you do will be

excellent, a hundred times better than anything I could invent....
