“Oh! Nell I am so lonesome tonight. Dorothy and I are all alone and she is asleep. The lights in this room are shaded with red and it is full of red roses; if you could only be here we would have one of our love talks, for Nell in spite of all that has come to be I am still your ‘dream girl’ and always will be I hope. Even though I know that I will never reach my ideals you have yours, I will be satisfied in seeing your happiness. The world unfolds itself to me more and more every day, and sometimes it seems to bright then it changes and everything seems sad.”

— Excerpt from a letter from Lillian Gish to Nell Dorr, c. 1916
