Sir
Not having the honor of being known to you, and being ignorant of the usual forms of addressing articles to an Editor, I fear I shall execute my present undertaking but awkwardly and beg at once to offer every apology for the irregularity of the proceeding - I am extremely anxious in Mr Charles Kemble’s absence from London to have some critiques inserted which have been forwarded to me from Manchester. I have no desire to dictate to the Managers; - my sole motive in wishing to give them publi-city, springs from a conviction that his future emoluments must now entirely be deriv’d from his reputation, and that however highly he may be spoken of when he appears

Sir Not having the honor of being known to you, and being ignorant of the usual forms of addressing articles to an Editor, I fear I shall execute my present undertaking but awkwardly and beg at once to offer every apology for the irregularity of the proceeding - I am extremely anxious in Mr Charles Kemble’s absence from London to have some critiques inserted which have been forwarded to me from Manchester. I have no desire to dictate to the Managers; - my sole motive in wishing to give them publi-city, springs from a conviction that his future emoluments must now entirely be deriv’d from his reputation, and that however highly he may be spoken of when he appears [page break] a circulation of his success can alone ensure it’s continuance - The London Journals are the only dependable vehicles for such information and “The Examiner” of all other papers the most read, and best credited: - if therefore you can consistently with your opinions insert any part of the enclos’d articles, or refer to them in any manner, you will materially serve a man who is too modest to solicit in his own behalf, and will confer a lasting obligation upon his wife - I am Sir Your most obedient Humble Servant Marie Therese Kemble Should an acquescence in the request I have [page break] taken the liberty of making, prove incompatible with the rules which you have prescrib’d for the conduct of your paper, I trust you will have the goodness to take no public notice of it, but will suffer my letter and it’s enclosure to be return’d when call’d for - Sunday Morning Paddington |
