you made me concerned how you would acquit your self of your
undertaking, and succeed in it. . . [1 column on risks of

an author with hints; and the materials are more plenty,
greater variety of characters and subjects proper to be
considered; the Play house alone, and whatever depends on
it, are of unspeakable advantages to an author. . .
