{"value"=>"<p>From 19 Warwick Crescent; regarding the manuscript of his play <em>Colombe's Birthday</em>; reads in part: \"So, you brought my Manuscript the other day. I made it for the use of [the actor] Charles Kean and his wife—to whom I read it. They would have acted the play—but in perhaps two or three years to come, and in the mean time I was to keep it unprinted—an arrangement which did not suit me: whereupon I withdrew it and included it in my 'Bell and Pomegranates.' It was never in the Prompter's hands, I think: the excisions were my own, –also the pencil marks which emphasize any word in a passage. When it came back from the Printer, my father caused the [manuscript] to be bound, and I have no notion how it passed out of his or my possession. It is the single poem in the series that I copied with my own hand\". Mounted to front binder's leaves of the manuscript mentioned (MISC 0810). See additional entry in Series I for manuscript.</p>"}
