I shall be at the Albion at Manchester, and if you wish to hear from me, you will do well to write to me there....
I have had a most terrible day of fatigue and worry, breaking my back with packing my things, and my heart with paying my bills.
HENRY GREVILLE. Dear Henry Greville goes to within fifty miles of Manchester with me to-morrow, and stays at a friend's house, whence he and Alfred Potocki purpose coming on for the play on Tuesday evening. After all, I am not sorry he is coming; his regard for me is not of a sort to make me dread the weakening effect of his sympathy, and it will be comfortable to know that among that strange audience I have just such a kind well-wisher as he is, to keep up whatever courage I have.
Perhaps you may yet see me in Dublin, for the manager wishes me to renew my engagement after the first six nights; and, of course, if he pays me my terms, I shall be glad to remain there as long as he likes.
Give my dear love to dear Dorothy. I am thoroughly worn out, and feel quite unwell; and oh, how cold it will be in that railroad carriage to-morrow!
God bless you, dear.
Ever yours,
Fanny.
Albion Hotel, Manchester, Monday, 15th.
My dear Hal,
