In the first place Sally has been in distress to know if you ever went for the butter. to the Hotel because I left a note for the landlady &amp;amp; she was to let you have it! I rejoice to hear you are getting on well. &amp;amp; satisfactorily to yourself I have been so thoroughly busy that I have been unable to work &amp;amp; I have been very poorly too with influence. so that my &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;[2219 reverse] spare time has been shortened by being obliged to be in bed. You know how terrible this is to one actively disposed as I am. &amp;amp; will forgive my not having written. I am getting better under the influence of homeopathy. &amp;amp; hope soon to feel like a new bird. I am leaving here on Tuesday for Limerick where I am going to act for four nights &amp;amp; two in Cork. Then, it is possible that I may go to Belfast &amp;amp; from thence to Scotland. Will you give my best love to Dilberoglue &amp;amp; tell him how much I thank him for the tobacco. I &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;[2220] often think of him as I am preparing it for use &amp;amp; it was very good of him to send it to me. I wish when he is sending for any more. he would order me some too. for if I go to America for a +++ month. I shall want a quantity: I grieve [?] to hear that he is ill. he is not over strong I think &amp;amp; you must +++ him much. for the good are scarce. I need not tell you though. to value him. I know how much you do so. Ask Wallack to ask Knowles to get a copy of&lt;u&gt; "Cousin Cherry"&lt;/u&gt; from town &amp;amp; you play the part. it will do you a great deal of good. It has been played at the Olympic. Thank &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;[2220 reverse] you for the craps. but dear you make your e's &amp;amp; your r's so alike that sometimes I find them difficult to read. &amp;amp; if they are of a more +++ kind I should be glad. more light [?] &amp;amp; less obscure for the &lt;u&gt;uneducated&lt;/u&gt; you understand what I mean I am certain &amp;amp; will let me have such. Forster is very good &amp;amp; +++ he is going to send &lt;u&gt;ours&lt;/u&gt; to Liverpool against I go back. Miss Hays sends her best love to you — when I write to Forster I will remember what you wish I will write to Miss Jewsbury &lt;u&gt;sometimes&lt;/u&gt; [?] I recollect waiting for six months for a letter from her. My memory is kept &lt;u&gt;green&lt;/u&gt;! God bless you. Your ever affectionate [?] xo [?] &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
