In the letter Tallulah thanks her grandparents for the money they recently sent her, which had acknowledged in an earlier letter: "It was so sweet of you both to send it to me. It saved my life. I hope you wouldn't think that [I] would be so ungrateful as not to acknowledge it and thank you." She also mentions an opportunity she will soon have to act in a play: "Constance Binney who is now playing '39 East' is going to take a months [sic] vacation and I am to play the part a month here in New York." Tallulah was only able to perform the role a few times, however, because the Actors' Equity Association called for a strike in August. |
