Referring to a play he has written and produced, Davis writes, "You brought us good luck. As soon as I saw you up in the box, I said, 'Well, now , we are all right.' And except that I did not wish to be crowding in, I wanted to go up and thank you. I am so glad you liked it and that you were good enough to write and tell me so. Without you present I could not think of presenting a play. So, you see the terrible future I have mapped out for you."

Davis thanks her for her kind letter about his play and comments, "It's really such a very small audience that one works to please and one's old friends are all that count."

Answering a letter from Mrs. Nevins which had just reached him from upon his return from New York, Davis approves of the idea of a memorial for her husband recently deceased, and speaks of "the days when Ethelbert and Charlie and I used to meet you in the Caseine, and when you acted as our star chaperone in the evening. I did not write to you at the time. It was not that I did not feel the loss too, but that a letter was so inadequate."
