Description
Dion Boucicault writes to an 'S. Myher'(?) to inform him of several works he has in rehearsal or preparation: "The Willow Copse" at the Adelphi; "The Regent Orleans" at the Haymarket; "The Sentinel" at the Princess's Theatre; and "A Village Tale" at the Strand. He also has "Stella" and "Right in Spite of Himself," being produced by a Mr. Webster (likely actor-manager Benjamin Webster). The Willow Copse has already been paid for, and Boucicault believes the others will return their costs.
