TO EDWIN BOOTH.
MY DEAR BOOTH:
In offering these verses to you, I beg you to treat them (as you
have many a time advised a certain lord chamberlain to treat the
players) not according to their desert. “Use them after your own
honor and dignity; the less they deserve, the more merit is in your
bounty.”
These many years your friend and comrade,
T. B. ALDRICH.
