Description
Lawrence writes to Archer and mentions Mrs. Macready, "the tragedian's mother," and J.H. Chute, "her stage manager & successor." He talks about how things are going badly due to the war and that now he despairs of ever getting two of his important articles published. He mentions that activity in Elizabethan matters has "almost wholly transferred itself to America" and that he has hopes for a Dr. T. S. Graves. Lawrence also talks of Albright and G. F. Reynolds writing on the alternation theory.
