Payne wishes to know whether the Sub-Committee has come to a decision on a matter he laid before them on April 29.
Recipient is likely Thomas Roden, cashier of the Morning herald. Payne asks the recipient's help in helping his friend and countryman Mr. Hackett, presumably James Henry Hackett.
Payne hopes Moore, with his influence with the Drury Lane Committee, will support his proposition to play Frederick (in Lovers' vows), Lothair (in Adelgitha) and Hamlet within a fortnight of the reopening of the theatre. Written from 4 Southampton St., Covent Garden. Accompanied by engraved portrait of Payne and a facsimile of an autograph poem by Payne "To Mrs. Morris, with a blank album."
Powell reminds the recipient that members of the company are entitled to published copies of The secret. Recipient is probably Edward Morris, but could also be George Colman the younger.
Payne indicates that he took the liberty of giving Charles Kemble a letter of introduction to Brevoort and of soliciting Brevoort's "kind offices in his favour" through Mr. Irving. The letter opens with a line from Richard III: "From Tamworth thither is but one day's march." Integral address leaf addressed to Henry Brevoort, Esqr. care Ogden, Richards & Selden, Liverpool.
The subject of the letter is Lawrence Washington, half-brother of George Washington.
Copies in Payne's own hand of letters written by him during the years 1804-1839. [Vol.I], containing letters from Feb. 1, 1804 - Feb. 20, 1818, is a folio calf-bound volume, with index. Later letters are in quarto copy books.
In referring to his upcoming trip to England, quotes, albeit imprecisely, from Richard II: "that happy breed of men, that little world / that precious stone set in a silver sea."
