Cambridge Street | Friday.
My dear Sara
As much M.S. as you can send me by Monday morning I shall be glad to receive, as I want to send it to the printer. I have made up my mind that no one will read the book, still less understand it. If you are tired of it, pray say so, for there is no necessity that you should bore yourself with it if you find it a labour.
Pray thank Mr. Bray for his note. I was so stupid as not to think of the foreign Bradshaw or I would not have troubled him.
To-morrow night 450 the opera opens with William Tell -- and I go! Ask Mr. Bray if he doesn't envy me? He enjoyed William Tell so last year. Best love to Cara and all spring pleasures to you every one.
Your loving and grateful
Pollian.
