| Content Summary: |
He sends the "Willow" song for Miss Terry, which he hopes she will sing at their re-union. It is the only copy - his wife's who will never sing it again, which he hopes will be preserved for him. He greatly enjoyed Irving's "sociable" at the Garrick the previous Sunday. He would like to join them but must go home one day. He hopes Irving will visit America and receive the same critical treatment but with better pecuniary results. (Postscript) Which night can he have a box to see both the 'Cup' and 'Belle's Stratagem'? Let him know when Irving wants him. |
