[3648] Dear Lady, <br /><br />The most intense desire of my life (save that of being a Christian) is to be gratified to night. I am to see you play. I am to hear your magical voice for the first time. God be thanked. And may he open some avenue to your heart that I may come and sit in the vestibule thereof.<br />[pages missing?]<br />[3649] Will you not see me, If I promise to be very good and not come again unless you invite me? Do not fear me. I am simply a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">teacher</span> and a sincere lover of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">art</span>. Bid me come some time very soon [last two words inserted], and I shall be ever grateful.<br />
<p>Respectfully</p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p>Potentially a fan letter. A woman named Helen L. D. Potter informs Cushman that she will be at the theater for her next performance and asks to meet the actress. She seems afraid of what Cushman might think of this request, as she clarifies that she is simply a "sincere lover of art."</p>
