I will be at Miss Kelly's to-morrow evening, from seven to eight, and
shall hope to see you there, for a little conversation, touching the
railroad arrangements.
All preparations completed in Edinburgh and Glasgow. There will be a
great deal of money taken, especially at the latter place.
I wish I could persuade you, seriously, to come into training for Nym,
in "The Merry Wives." He is never on by himself, and all he has to do is
good, without being difficult. If you could screw yourself up to the
doing of that part in Scotland, it would prevent our taking some new
man, and would cover you (all over) with glory.
Faithfully yours always.
P.S.--I am fully persuaded that an amateur manager has more
correspondence than the Home Secretary.
