H'ry to Wm, Dec. 29, 1893. Age: 50

H'ry continues his rant against Daly (and revealing in the process what he thinks his own role in the production of a play should be):

"Only let me add that the rehearsal at Daly's was a mere mumbled reading of their parts, book in hand, for the 1st time, to whom I hadn't been allowed, & wasn't then allowed, an instant's access, & whose proceedings constituted no more a tentative or experimental expression of my play than a closed piano constitutes a sonata."
