"Your entry on him is such a mess that it would take me too long to send you
corrections which, on past performance, you would probably ignore. But I'm in a
good mood and will serve you up one: the date and place of Mildmay's marriage --
Sioux Falls, SD, 24 Feb. 1902, a location explained by the need to arrange a divorce
for his partner, Louisa Jane Oliver (b. Maunder), and legitimacy for his daughter,
Audrey (b. 19 Dec. 1900), later a well-known opera singer (omitted in your entry)."
