Summary
Presenting a manuscript copy of his "The House of Aspen" as a substitute for "The Lay of the Last Minstrel" which has been "miscarried," and requesting that she allow no one to copy the manuscript because "I should be sorry if any one should see the play in its present very imperfect state."
