I was so very sorry that you couldn't have come with them.  It would have been quite like old times.  But then we couldn't have said all the nice things about you that we did.  I have not met your Miss Page yet, in fact I don't see how I'm going to unless you want me to call on her, in which case send me her address.  I'm sure she is nice.  I liked her photo immensely.

Taber gave me some details of your new play.  I promised him that I would try and get to New York in time for the "premiere".
