You will help me to prove that I am in the possession of tragic powers far greater than Irving's, if you can see special merit & a new great teaching in the Norse play "Madansena," & will make your findings known. I post you a copy with this. Clara JECKS who acted Buchanan's "PSYCHE" in "The Bride of Love" speaks of its 'power & greatness.' WAUGH, who reviewed MORRIS as a poet in Murray's magazine January '91 writes that he has read it "with much interest." One of our leading poets whose name is not known to me "liked very much" a poem of mine on the Colosseum which in a minor London magazine was called "a marvel of word painting."
As publishers do not care to buy the play, I cannot get into public notice. I am now approaching 35 & have powers of a very great order as a Shakesperean actor. Fechter's LAERTES was exceedingly excited when he gave me the first lesson 9 or 10 years ago. As my great aims in life are PRO BONO PUBLICO, you may find it in your heart to say a POTENT thing or two in my behalf. Kindly TRY ACT II sc 3 first.
Yours Sincerely Margrave Kenyon



The agent H.S. TAYLOR 1193 Broadway New York has doubtlessly received 12 of my books within the last few days to "PLACE" amongst managers—BARRETT, Modjeska, Fanny Davenport &c—but the hope is exceedingly—"SMALL" unaided by a great man's "SAY."
