Lodge addresses his correspondent as 'Dear Sir' and the content of the letter is on the subject of Benjamin's play 'Outward Bound'. Lodge requests the reservation of two seats to see the play again as there were 'one or two points on which I did not completely realise the intention of the Author'.

Lodge refers to Benjamin throughout the letter in the third person as 'the Author' |
