In reading this over, I find all I seem to have done in
it is to complain because no one, but yourself and myself
liked "Macklin." What I wanted to say is, that I am very
grateful for the article, for the appreciation, although I
don't deserve it, and for your temerity in saying so many kind
things. Nothing that has been written about what I have
written has ever pleased me so much.

Providence, R. I., Henry W. Savage produced a play by Jesse
Lynch Williams and my brother was asked to assist at
rehearsals, a pastime in which he found an enormous amount of
pleasure. The "McCloy" mentioned in the following letter was
the city editor
of
The Evening Sun when my brother first joined the staff
of
that paper as a reporter.
