 Macready's appearance. Nor do I doubt that it will be of

 ceeded on that assumption since we first began to play in 
 London. ... I have a little difficulty in sending you the 
 exact caste of the Merry Wives, because if Leech should 
 still be unable to come, I shall play Slender, and somebody 
 else wdll act my present part of Swallow."
