Livy My Darling,
I had a jolly adventure last night with a chap from the “Eastern Shore”—you must remind me to tell you about it when I get home. I spent 4 hours in the State Prison to-day, after rehearsal, but it would take a book to hold all I saw & heard. Am too tired [to-night] to write—will only say I’m homesick, & that the old song lies when it says that “absence conquers love.”
