I beg to offer you and your nieces my tickets for Miss Huddart’s benefit; she is the meritorious and amiable daughter of a lady of real merit, who was well known to me, and moved in the best society, at one time in Dublin. I am told this young actress is very promising, and I can only answer for her being the best of daughters, and having met with the heaviest affliction lately by the loss of her father.
A show of patronage from persons of talent would do much for a debutante, and I know you will lend yourself for a few hours to serve this friendless young creature on my account.
I beg Sir Charles
to join you, and write me a few lines with your opinion of her. If I could have
gone to Dublin to wait on the Duchess of
Northumberland, I should have been happy to have taken a box and
gone to see this young creature, for her mother’s sake, but four deaths have shadowed over my thoughts for some
time, and left me no joyous fancies for the present. I hope the saints may not
shut up the theatre,
| 294 | LADY MORGAN'S MEMOIR. |
I know how pleased you must be with the Relief Bill, and I trust in God it may promote general prosperity in this country.
