Dear Grossmith,--I have just remembered you have received no reply to your invite for the "small and early." . . . We left London on the 6th, and since then have visited Hamburg and Copenhagen. To-night we start for Christiania on our way to the North Cape. Should any friends ask my address, tell them for the next three weeks, "Arctic Ocean." Kind regards from Mrs. and self to Mrs. G. and self. Yours sincerely, EDWARD TERRY. The following is from Nellie Farren: Gaiety Theatre, Strand, _Friday_. Dear George,--Will you repeat yesterday's performance on the 23rd of this month for your old friend, NELL. Alfred Scott Gatty, Hamilton Aide, Duke of Abercorn, Earl of Onslow, William J. Florence (the popular American comedian), John Hare, W. Kuhe, W. Maybrick (his "Nancy Lee" still haunts me), Chas. Wyndham, W. J. Hill, Oscar Wilde, and J. McNiel Whistler, from whose epistle I give an extract: "Je tu savois brave--mais je ne tu savois pas plus brave que moy!" Ton roy, HENRI. Which means, my dear Bunthorne, that "I knew you amazing!--but I did not know you more amazing than I"! Thine Then appears the well-known "butterfly" signature. Madam Dolby, Madam Liebhart, Viscountess Folkestone, Lady Coutts Lindsay (whose charming collections of people at the Grosvenor Gallery some years ago will not be easily forgotten), Beatty Kingston, Frederick Boyle, Manville Fenn, Lady Chas. Beresford, Marchioness of Ormond, Lady Chesham, G. H. Boughton, A.R.A., Pro. Ray Lankester, Sir Coutts Lindsay, Earl and Countess of Donoughmore. Her ladyship writes: . . I am afraid we cannot go to London this season. There is an idea that digging turnips at Knocklofty would be a pleasing change. I should not mind the turnips if kind friends would come and help dig them. Have you and Mrs. Grossmith any sharp spuds, and would you like to race me in a drill? (I don't know if turnips are planted in drills--potatoes are.) Are you afraid of the sea? It's not very rough, and your chicks could play and fight with mine all day, and we would have a good time somehow. Mrs. Alfred Wigan, Carlotta Leclercq, Viscountess Pollington, Harry Furniss, E. Willard, Sir Morell Mackenzie, Duchess of Abercorn (a kind letter referring to my severe illness in Jan., 1887), Harry Payne (certainly the best clown in my time), Rutland Barrington, Fred. Leslie, Meyer Lutz, Earl of Clarendon. Pro. Hubert Herkomer, A.R.A., writes, in reply to my enquiry whether he was busy: I am now at work on my thirty-first portrait this year--which does not count water-colour subjects. Can't you spend a Sunday with me? Milton Wellings, Lord Hay of Kinfauns, Arthur Stirling. _July 15th_, 1887. Dear Grossmith,--We are looking forward with great pleasure to lunching with you next Monday. My duty to your wife. Yours ever, DOUGLAS STRAIGHT. ------
