Summary
Concerning Delap's attempts to get one of his plays produced and asking Heath to bring it to the attention of John Bannister; saying that John Philip Kemble did not like the play "on account of the principal character not being a good man;" mentioning that, in contrast, General John Burgoyne and William Gerard Hamilton responded favorably to it; urging Bannister to move quickly and adding that he is open to any criticisms; saying that he hopes Heath still plans to visit Brighton.
