25 March 1902
Courenay’s letter has just come: he wants to put up Brassb. after the run of Mars. Many thanks, confound you!
I feel - well, you know just exactly how I feel. I havnt see her play for some years; and my mind & imagination flatly refuse to contemplate her has Lady C.
I think, on the whole, that I will commit suicide & leave my executors to deal with the matter.
