July 25, 1855. MY DEAR BERLIOZ :WHEN you take up this letter, open it, and turn to the signature, you will in all probability imagine that you are dreaming. You may remember, possibly, that when you quitted London after English opera had terminated for the nine hundred and ninety-ninth time its temporary existence, I promised to write to you. Jullien smanagement had given that highly respectable musical entity its nine hundred and ninety-ninth burial. As times go, all things considered, it was very respectably managed. You and myself had all the trouble of preparing the corpse for the coffin. Balfe, as the doctor, had penned the last prescription ;S ims Reeves, as a native apothecary, carried off all the glory attendant upon putting it out of the land of the living; while that purely mythical personage, nobody, would seem to have pocketed the whole of the money its charms had wheedled from its scant admirers. Very certain is it, that none remained.
