Praises Miss Rehan's Rosalind: "Your rendering of the part charmed me with its gaiety and womanly grace- not to be masked, of course, by the assumption of male character ... this is heightened by that special and wholly indescribable enchantment which is your own personal gift and which makes your Rosalind for me altogether unrivaled." On letterhead from 35 Wimpole Street, W.
