“I have gotten a box for Othello to-night, and send the ticket for your friends the R—fes. I seriously recommend to you to recommend to them to go for half an hour, if only to see the third act—they will not easily have another opportunity. We—at least, I—cannot be there, so there will be no one in their way. Will you give or send it to them? it will come with a better grace from you than me.
“I am in no good plight, but will dine at * *’s with you, if I can. There is music and Covent-g.—Will you go, at all events, to my box there afterwards, to see a débût of a young 16* in the ‘Child of Nature?’”
