MY DEAR REGNIER,

I am heartily obliged to you for your kind letter respecting Miss

Kelly's benefit. It is to take place _on Thursday, the 16th June_;

Thursday the 9th (the day originally proposed) being the day of Ascot

Races, and therefore a bad one for the purpose.

Mitchell, like a brave _garcon_ as he is, most willingly consents to

your acting for us. Will you think what little French piece it will be

best to do, in order that I may have it ready for the bills?

Ever faithfully yours, my dear Regnier.

[Sidenote: Mr. W. H. Wills.]
