Summary
Describing his ill health but promising to send the first two chapters of a new work; asking him to "Send me Ten Pounds - Cut the note in half and dont send the 2nd half till the first is acknowledged...I am delighted with my subject - My Soul is in it. It shall be no flimsy thing - no more than my plays - Till we have arranged as to the mode of publication - Keep all a secret." adding, in a postscript, an accounting of the number of pages he has written and will deliver and asking him to mark what he does not like.
