[Early July 1879] 13 Salisbury Street, London

Dear Miss Ellen Terry, Will you accept from me a poem which I have written to you in your character of Henrietta Maria as a small proof of my great and loyal admiration for your splendid artistic powers, and the noble tenderness and pathos of your acting.

No actress has ever affected me as you have. What I have said to you in my sonnet to you expresses quite inadequately the great effect your acting has had on me.

You will have many more triumphs but I do not think you will ever have a more sincere and impassioned admirer than I am.

I look forward to your winning new laurels in new parts, and remain most sincerely yours

OSCAR WILDE
