Octr: 25th 1881?
Dear Dr. Collyer
Mrs. Booth must be ignorant of the letter I wrote you, and wh you said satisfied her parents, - as Mrs. [Paleman?] has just told me that my wife today repeated her willingness to see me provided I would write such a letter. I have asked Dr. [Gaguer?] to explain the case to Mrs Booth and to her parents that my visit may be satisfactory to all. I have been so misunderstood that I wd wish a disinterested party to be present at our interview, and I feel sure that your presence wd have a good influence on all. Will it be con-
venient for you to be there or go with me this evening? I think she should be fully prepared for my visit and that she should know that I have made offers of reconciliation to her parents and that they should know her wish, otherwise my presence there might be objectionable. I hardly know what to do – my brain seems dazed. Whether to go now or after the play I cannot determine.
I sent to Dr [Wopur?] because he visits Mrs Booth every evening early and could probably notify me how to act in case you are engaged.
In great haste
Edwin Booth
