Content Summary: He writes to correct a false impression about Salvini's morning performance. He had requested a box for the first morning performance from Messrs Lacon & Ollier before one was announced. When he was unable to meet Salvini, he wrote to him about the general desire to see him act and received a courteous reply. Salvini would not misunderstand the omission of his name from the round-robin request.
