[2925] Dear friend. — I find the business part of "Angelo" so very difficult to me. — that I think. had I thought on the subject My old shyness would have got the worse of me, — & I should have said "nay". – It is idle to tell you (in one who hates talk as much as I do) how nervous the idea of taking artists' money. always makes me. Publisher & managers are one prey, or play (Which is it. — or +++, +++ is?) — But I like as little that I & U. should trade. As that trade should finish with I. O.U. —
[2925 reverse] Still, as it seems that some one must be called in, & would be paid were not I to give up. — perhaps. I am only right in availing myself of another opportunity of studying My profession. Is £50 dear. for the labour. I write today & not tomorrow. because. should you find the least difficulty in the matters – or feel as if another physician would do as well, whose prescription
[2926] is less costly – you may still do so, without inconvenience to yourself I am sure, that, in no event shall I, or can I misunderstand you as little can you or shall you, misunderstand Yrs. very faithfully
Henry F. Chorley.
