Summary/Abstract: Two letters by Karol Chłapowski published here: the first written on Helena Modrzejewska’s request, and the second, a labor of love, both addressed to a distinguished theatre critic Feliks Koneczny, are in substance nearly an outline of the basic principles of Helena Modrzejewska’s art of acting. Additionally, they are an unusual expression of the memory about the first teachers of attitude to acting and to stage carrier. Worth mentioning is Chłapowski’s opinion that Modrzejewska might also have been fulfilled in other types of art which coincides with Norwid’s view that she might have become the first recognized Polish women writer. The two inconspicuous letters in question are crucial complements of a set of about 1500 letters written or received by Helena Modrzejewska and Karol Chłapowski.
