Letter
7 September 1794

From John Delap (playwright)
To. James Heath

Dear Sir,
Upon seeing Mr.Bannister's name amongst those who are to appear next Saturday at Drury Lane, I thought I would trouble you with this letter, to desire you would be so good put him in mind of the Play, that he seemed not to dislike. 

I told you that Kemble had disliked it, on account of the principal character not being a good man. Mr.Bannister perhaps may not be so very nice; and if he would undertake to perform it, I should not have any apprehensions about the success;  especially after the favourable opinions of General Burgoyne, Mr.Gerard Hamilton and others of equal note.

The sooner Mr.Bannister undertakes the business the better; and if he will be at the trouble of sending me any criticisms, I will pay a proper regard to them.
You gave me some expectations of making Brighton a visit, I hope you have not laid aside your intention, and that I may yet have the pleasure of your company.
Believe me, dear Sir, very much yours,

J.Delap 
Lewes Sep.7. 1794
