About the play Two Little Vagabonds, which is a good play and worth seeing. But he advises her not to take the children because of the murders and deaths ("the murders &| deaths are too sensational for children"), but she can take her husband and Miss Moore.
He takes the liberty of asking her to be kind enough to look after his niece
Minella Dodgson (known as Nella), who lives nearby, and to invite her to her home to brighten up her sad life as a schoolteacher| she is 19 years old: "I don't think you would find her at all disagreeable"...
