Dear Charley—
We will lie low until Raymond has played his new piece in New York, & if it is not a promising success, we will go for him again, with a modified proposition. Lawrence Barret[t] strongly urges this, & gives good reasons for it.
Meantime, hurry up that Sunday Mercury business, as a part of the preparation. Livy was delighted with the andirons.
Merry Xmas to you all.

P. S. Return me the MS copy of the play of “Colo “Col. Sellers” if you have it.
