highest praise, there were some errors as to
her dramatic successes which the Princess
wishes to have corrected. These misState-

No wealthy widow nor any other person
than my parents ever contributed to my
education. No wealthy widow backed any
theatrical ventures of mine. and the story of

Letter in London, when group of American
friends headed by New York banker and his
wife then living in London, put about four
thousand dollars into the production.
THE statement that some person furnished
me with two thousand pounds with which to
make my studies in France is also completely
and entirely false. My salary in the leading
theaters of England was always very high
Ny period of study in Paris was supported by
the money earned during short engagements
to fill which l returned to London from time
to time. On one occasion funds were sent to
me by two or three Englishwomen of high
rank who thought l ought to be put in posi-
ton to accomplish my task without further
interruption.
Neither did the writer correctly interpret
the attitude of the French toward me. 1t is
true there was some hostility to overcome !;
