In full: "Dear Mr. Willis, After I went into 'the Rothschilds' in March I received a letter from you asking for information and a picture for the next issue of Theatre World. Unfortunately the cleaning people with all their efficiency threw the letter and the information form away. Enclosed is a picture and some information in the hopes that you've not yet gone to press [items not included]. Thank you very much. Sincerely ."
