HAMLEY
(Lieutenant General Sir Edward Bruce, 1824-1893, Soldier and Writer. M.P.)
Long Autograph Letter Signed to "My dear STORY"
(William Wetmore, 1819-1895, American Sculptor, Art Critic, Poet and Editor) saying that he has to "go to Ericksen ... Your drama is very agreeable and entertaining to read, and runs very smoothly. It is quite of the style of those that were so successful at the P. of Wales's. What I am uncertain about is whether there is sufficient incident to maintain the interest of the audience. All that happens to the principal characters is the exchange of lovers - and I am not sure how far it will please, to see a young lady made twice happy by different men in the short space of three acts. However, this is a point of which I shd think you might implicitly take Bancroft's opinion - why not forward the piece to him? The chief incident at present is the exposure of the secondary personage, the Count. In order that the audience should rejoice at it, it wd be necessary that he should do something more deserving of chastisement than anything he previously does. As it is, it comes as a surprise anda does not carry the idea of retribution because he has passed ... for what he pretends to be - Couldn't you set him about some villainy affecting some of the principal characters - I think the present framework seems well adapted to admit of stronger action ... and is, indeed, of itself a very pretty story ....", 4 sides 8vo.,Athenaeum Club headed paper, 10th August no year
