“Evening: through the Arctic weather to Niblo’s with Ellie & Miss Lucy [Derby, his niece]—that little lump of comfort. Sothern as Lord Dundreary in 'Our American Cousin'—a most admirable & artistic performance, about which one could write a great deal. Laughed till I cried. We enjoyed it much—all three of us.”
