See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Twenty-two lines of text. In good condition, lightly discoloured and worn. Folded for postatge. The addressee's name is unclear. Signed 'Clement Scott'. Begins 'If the article on the Gaiety has to be cut - they are [?] cut sometimes on Sundays - please ask them as a special favour not to cut the remarks about the wonderful song "The Bogie man." I know it is wrong to prophesy but this song will bring [fortune?] to the Burlesque and no one has touched on it as yet.' He could 'do "La Cycle"', but does not want 'to interfere with these comic operas unless B[?] permits it'. He continues: 'You will see from my Gaiety article that I am not ignorant of the effect of music on the profanum vulgus but of course I have no executive power'. He can 'describe music', but cannot talk about 'contrapuntal passages', and doesn't think it is wanted 'on the comic stage'.

Discusses the use of elm, and asks if any contractor would be willing to erect 'such cottages at £420 a pair?' Signed 'Onslow'.
