Thanks the recipient for the lilacs and invites her to stop by the theatre tomorrow, Friday or Saturday. On letterhead of the Hotel Alexandria, Los Angeles. Letter addressed to Mrs. Stilson.
Marlowe would like to help the Belgians but is following her doctor's orders to not appear publicly. Mr. Sorthern is ill as well and has also ceased professional activities. Mentions Madame [Emile?] Vandervelde.
Letter started 30 April, 1906, stopped incomplete but resumed on August 1, 1906. Marlowe explains that she had taken ill and had to change her plans for the summer. She finished her engagement in New York and then came to her present location for "the cure." She is sorry she couldn't make it to England this summer but shall be there next summer.
Marlowe writes about the public's enthusiasm for her engagement here which has sold out before it began. She could never understand the copyright law existing between this and other countries but she is glad Seawell's enterprise is helping to clear away the nuisance. Also includes two magazine clipping portraits of Julia Marlowe.
