| Description | Written on "41 Blackheath Park, S.E." headed paper. EHS describes a dance performance he saw in London, saying that the more he thinks of it "the more wonderful it all seems". He wants to describe the costumes but can't "humbly do so in a letter". He describes the "quaint Bakst pictures of Equestriennes + Clowns" and a full description of the set. EHS says that Cyril was lucky as he and Mrs Croxton know the manager and so they had supper with him in his room, champagne and cigars. He says the manager had told Cyril that a party of Americans had come to him and offered him 20 guineas a ticket and that there were 4000 people there [at the performance] and 5000 more that wanted to.
