TO LORD HOLLAND.

"September 24.

"I send a recast of the four first lines of the concluding

paragraph.

"This greeting o'er, the ancient rule obey'd,

The drama's homage by her Herald paid,

Receive _our welcome too_, whose every tone

Springs from our hearts, and fain would win your own.

The curtain rises, &c. &c.

And do forgive all this trouble. See what it is to have to do even

with the _genteelest_ of us. Ever," &c.
