Summary
Proposing that he resubmit a previously rejected drawing of a "black pantomime" to Burgess for reconsideration, as he has since "tried to perfect" the piece; proposing that it might serve as an illustration "for the Christy's at the Standard" [i.e. Christy's Minstrels at the Standard Theatre in Shoreditch] and suggesting that they meet at Burgess's house "to decide upon its practicability".
