Charles Kemble. Esqre.

My Dear Sir!

I hasten to inform you of a misunderstanding whi[ch] resulted by the inadequate‡ inproper‡ and crossing‡ arrangements of Mr Livius. the‡ those‡ one hundered Pounds Sterling, mentioned in my last letter to you, are sent by Mr Hawes who is intentioned to perform Euryanthe in the English opera house during the Summer*, which I‡ was told me‡ apprized of,‡ by a Letter of Mr Livius from the 14th of June.

my yourney to Ems near‡ Coblenz, is now fixed; and I shall be there in the middle of July and remain four or fife weeks.      the letters with‡ which you may‡ honor me, will find me there; but the beautifulst‡ most agreeable‡ surprise were your own arrival, which would gladden me very?‡ […]‡ heartily.

Let me not in vain nourish this hope and believe me to remain‡ that I am‡ Ever your much
obliged and very
obedient Servant.
