Forgive me if this question seems ignorant, but I have little knowledge of how one runs a musical hall. Is yours the sort of business that allows for leisure time away from your club, or do you find your presence is always wanted for oversight?

A friend and I are planning a trip to the continent later this month, for a short holiday — around a week or so, I believe. I intend to drink exceptionally fine wine and could use the company of someone who appreciates such things.

Dear Mister Dempsey,
My business can spare me, and certainly for the pleasure of such fine company, I'm sure I can make the time.

Please let me know the date, and the dress code and I should be delighted to join you.

Kindly
Miss Rose Hart
