Description
Boucicault writes on February 28, year unknown, from an unknown location, to his son, Dion G. Boucicault, about a play that Dion G. Boucicault had written and previously sent to his father. Boucicault the elder comments that the unnamed play is greatly improved and suggests further improvements. Boucicault the elder also mentions that his hand "grows rather weak at night." He gave the piece to "W. Field" and begins to talk about performing the piece in New York.
