On the reverse, Mary has written out the "Characters in 'Pride's Cure,' a Tragedy." In this list Lovel and Gray are described as "two Court spies."
On the next page the play opens, but on the top margin is written:—
"Turn a leaf back for my Letter to Manning.
"C. LAMB."
The point of the underlining of "my" is to distinguish Lamb's letter from Margaret's, which chance to face one another in the MS.
Then comes:—
Pride's Cure.
A Tragedy.
Act the First. Scene the First.
A Servants' apartment in Wodvil [sic] Hall.
Servants drinking.
A Song by Daniel.
"When the King enjoys his own again."
Peter. A delicate song upon my verity.
Where didst learn it, fellow?
And so on for some leaves without material difference from print.
After the speech [page 155] "All. Truly a sad consideration" comes this continuation of the dialogue:—
Daniel. You know what he said to you one day in confidence.
