LETTER 572
CHARLES LAMB TO JOHN FORSTER
[No date. ? March, 1833.]
Swallow your damn'd dinner and your brandy and water fast—
& come immediately
I want to take Knowles in to Emma's only female friend for 5 minutes only, and we are free for the even'g.
I'll do a Prologue.
[The prologue was for Sheridan Knowles' play "The Wife." Lamb wrote both prologue and epilogue (see Vol. IV.).]
