Summary
Discussing his travel plans to London so that he arrives in time for rehearsal; asking that, if possible by return post, the scripts be sent to him in Edinburgh so that he might study them on the train; adding in a postscript "The cholera at Newcastle has taken all the gilt from our gingerbread. Our other tours have been excellent. 128 deaths in one day - think of that - wasn't I glad when I said good bye."
