He will be in Birmingham on Tuesday and could meet Harry there. He writes in confidence.

He expresses his strong attachment to Irving, giving him a share in his troubles as well as his triumphs.

Content Summary: They hope he will get away in about 10 days, and slowly reach Falmouth, which is better than going abroad. He agrees.

She was full of a new play by which she would make her star(?).
