Letter regarding one of her girlfriends. "If you have theatricals again, & if I am able to come, & if there is room enough (three doubtful hypotheses) I should much like to bring my young friend here, Evelyn Dubourg (now 16, but I have known her since she was 10), & her brother Augustus. I have told Evelyn I am giving you a "hint" to invite her, & she hopes I shall make it strong enough to run no risk of not being understood!"... Translation: If you have the theatrical performances again, and if I can come, and if there's enough room (three dubious hypotheses) I'd love to bring my young friend, Evelyn Dubourg (now 16, but I've known her since she was 10), and her brother Augustus. I've told Evelyn that I'm "hinting" to you to invite her, and she hopes I'll hint loud enough to run no risk of not being understood!...
