Thanks him for the gift of a copy of Pizarro (the current play at the Princess 's Theatre) with interesting historical notes. Calls it an advance in dramatic exposition only to be equaled by the wonders which science has done in its own domain by the telegraph. Congratulates him on the success of the Princess, which the world speaks of as the lion of London. Sends kind regards to Mrs. Kean and "my old and respected friend Mr. Cole."
