It is with great regret that I inform you that our exhibition of

private theatricals is indefinitely postponed on account of the sudden

and serious illness of Miss Hope Ledyard, who was the chief star of

our little company.

The “Lady of Lyons,” with the “Lady” left out, would be like “Hamlet,”

with the noble Dane missing, an impossible performance; and, as there

was no one else so capable of filling the part as Miss Ledyard, we are

resolved to await her recovery.

Your friend,

ELIZABETH STUART.
