Transcription	Adelphi May 24 1774 MY dear Home. You fled from London before I left Bath--I have seen the Person mention'd in yr. Note, & have told him how he stands upon the list--We are more regular in our Stage-promotions than they are in the State--We suffer None but those of extraordinary Merit, & Monsr. Arlequin to leap over Peoples heads--so much for that: I must beg leave to recommend to Your good Word, for He well deserves it, Mr. Walker--You love
