[3596] Dearly Beloved Charlotte
The matter at present stands thus. I have made various efforts to get at Vandenhoff, but in vain. I sent to him through a Boston lady to whom he is indebted for much kindness, but have heard nothing from him. +++ cannot compose anything at such short notice, but has found
[3596 reverse] me quite a clean +++ who will undertake it, on the terms you proposed, +++, a Benefit. He will go ahead, the moment we tell him to. Meantime, he would like to know what we can give him in the way of and +++. I can find out what is necessary and how much we can have for how much money but can do nothing without your leave. The Orphens +++ +++ would probably do our +++ for nothing
[3597] and they ring excellently. Now please send me one line by return Post[?] to say, shall I see the +++, +++, and arrange with him or not? Is the +++ of the +++ indispensable? I think not. I saw all Macbeth's classic plays. If really desirable, I will come on and see you any day you will name The papers say that your engagement is a brilliant one. I cannot help wish
[3597 reverse] ing you might play the World's +++ here, if we do not yet +++. Remember dear, a line by return post, Sally can write it, only say, go in, I come on, or the contrary. With true love
Your's ever
Julia W. Howe.
