TO MR MURRAY. « Cheltenham, Sept. 27, 1812. «I SENT in no Address whatever to the Committee; but out of nearly one hundred (this is confidential), none have been deemed worth acceptance; and in consequence of their subsequent application to me, I have written a prologue, which has been received, and will be spoken. The MS. is now in the hands of Lord Holland. << I write this merely to say, that (however it is received by the audience) you will publish it in the next edition of Childe Harold; and I only beg you at present to keep my name secret till hear further from me, and as you soon as possible I wish you to have a correct copy, to do with as you think proper. « P.S.-I should wish a few copies printed off before, that the newspaper copies may be correct after the delivery."
