B.P. Bellamy letter to Mr. Kenneth, 1833 Feb. 14.

Bellamy writes from Theatre Royal, Bath, in 1833 to Dear Sir. The letter contains an integral envelope with the simple address, Mr. Kenneth. Bellamy complains that the copy of Nell Gwynne that he borrowed was incorrect. He says that after having the parts copied out, he saw the correct prompt copy from Covent Garden, necessitating doing the work all over again. Bellamy tells Kenneth that he is sending back the manuscript but warns that its content was "deficient in about one fifth of the matter," and that the parts ommitted were the most effective of the piece. He refers to the copy as a "hopeless and useless thing", but adds that the play went famously, with great style.
