I fly to my room and give the day to thee. Albany, October 29th, 1784. Mr. Watts this instant acquaints me that he is just setting off for New-York.

Of Salvini's Othello he said: ... "What an immense impression simply as an impression the actor makes on the spectator who sees him for the first time as the turbaned and deep-voiced Moor!
