Dear Madam,

A little while ago I wrote to you c/o Tony Pastors, New York, but as I have had no reply I presume you did not get my letter. Having understood that your health has been somewhat impaired through overwork it struck me that a long sea voyage and a change of climate might be very beneficial to you, particularly as the voyage is one in which you are not likely to encounter rough weather & will enable you to escape the English winter. In short would you be willing to consider an offer to visit Australia & play principal boy in the forthcoming pantomime at Sydney or Melbourne? The engagement to be at your option provided your times suit us, you would either go for the run of the pantomime about eight weeks, or for twelve weeks or twenty four weeks. I may tell you that our pantomime productions are on a scale of completeness not excelled anywhere in England, excepting perhaps Drury Lane or the Lyceum. I really think the matter worth your serious consideration from every point of view. An early reply will oblige.

Yours truly,

JG Williamson
