Content Description

The reason for their quarantine was a chance encounter with an "Algerine Gallery"; he is to engage Carabaldi, but if this is not possible to try l'Ovattini, if he can get neither then the best comic he can find; the terms for Carabaldi are £800 and a benefit; Mr. Carmanini is representing the interests of l'Ovattini, details the terms required, if l'Ovattini is not available Carmanini recommends Agostino Lipparini and gives his terms; Mr. Humphry has asked Wiseman to complete a copy of the score of Anfossi's comic opera, the contract to be in the names of Richard Yates and James Brooke.
