Tavistock House
                Wednesday Thirtieth December 1857
My Dear Stone
                I find on enquiry, that the General Theatrical Fund has relieved non-members, in one or two instances; but that it is exceedingly unwilling to do so, and would certainly not do so again, saving on some very strong and exceptional case. As its Trustee, I could not represent to it that I think it ought to sail into those open waters, for I very much doubt the justice of such cruising, with a reference to the interests of the patient people who support it out of their small earnings.
