Then he is engaged to read or recite one of his own poems at Harry Edwards benefit Thursday eve- ning and he ought to do his best for Harry Edwards and his wife have been the true and the [tried?] to Charlie. Then one cannot say that you will not [Lasten?] down [&?] have one talk with Agazziz who prolongs his stay, and in case he feels himself bettering may do so until you come.
