March 5, 1897

Special correspondent to the Chicago Daily Tribune, Julian Ralph writes: "I have received this interesting letter in response to an inquiry where I could obtain the libretto of Princess Maud's new opera, much heralded in the society columns of the English press."

Mr. Ralph received the following response:
"Marlborough House, Pall Mall, S.W. - In reply to your enquiry dated March 3, I beg to give you the most full and unreserved assurance that Princess Charles of Denmark has never at any time written a play or composed a musical drama. Yours faithfully, Henry Knollys, Colonel Controller to H.R.H. Princess Charles of Denmark."
