Una parola/ you see I am airing My[?] Italian.) in answer to your kind note from +++ Waters, & to introduce to your +++ care the M.S. — of my play. Save the introduction of one or two words in the great scene between Sir Archibald & Eve, in the fourth Act (so as to make her natural misconception of the nature of his suit more pointed) which will be very easily added – the copy is a perfect one – as I, yesterday, put the few words between Margaret & Lord  Overbury into order, that no stranger [2948 reverse] reading, the play might stumble for a moment for want of the connecting link. — Now as regards a certain theatre. My first object, us, of course, that you should be +++ & supported well in a play you have so kindly adopted (as regards, I mean mere choice of locale) At the Princess' theatre would be a chance of Wallack in La Rogue — leaving only the père noble to be filled — or, perhaps Mr Packingham[?] might be tried, or even Mr. W. Lacym[?] if Mr. Wallack had to have Sir Archibald for himself. – [illegible crossed out] I here would be [2949] +++, too, for Lord Overbury (?) -— so that I don't know but the cast would have[?] as decent a chance there as elsewhere. – What I have heard of Mr. — makes me eminently dislike <del>to</del> the idea of having anything to do with him: — but, if he will meet me +++ — & produce the [illegible crossed out] piece worthily – I have neither row nor antipathy to make me say "nay" To facilitate matters as much as possible, & to spare you (as every Lady ought to be spared, according to my notions) embroilment or intermixture in a business which [2949 reverse] is one of mere profit — I have left conditions in the hands of my trust worthy & gentlemanly friend, Mr.  Arnould — to [inserted] which there be no difficulty in any one's [last two words inserted] acceding — & which while they prevent my either being duped, or doing an ingenious thing by my professionally literary brethren – leave concession & accommodation in my own power on returning, provided I find the matter has made any progress, during my absence. All I am desirous of, in brief, is to cause [2950] nor delay nor hindrance, with a reasonable regard to the protection of my own interest. And so, good bye! –  If you were behind my +++ you would understand what, otherwise, seems almost too absurd, — the more than necessity there is at present my getting away. I am, done, in +++ & it is rather a bones than a hand, which wishes you all wealth success, a posperity <del>while</del> till you see again Very truly Yrs. H. F.
