I agreed to open the season with him as soon as I had got my drama written; and I did so, meeting with an enthusiastic reception.
My new drama was arranged for the stage by J.V.Arlington, the actor.

It was a five-act play, without head or tail, and it made no difference at which act we commenced the performance.

Before we had finished the season several newspaper critics, I have been told, went crazy in trying to follow the plot.

It afforded us, however, ample opportunity to give a noisy, rattling, gunpowder entertainment, and to present a succession of scenes in the late Indian war, all of which seemed to give general satisfaction.
From Rochester I went to New York and played a very successful engagement at the Grand Opera House under the management of Messrs.
Poole and Donnelly.

Thence my route took me to all the principal cities in the Eastern, Western and Middle States, and I everywhere met with crowded houses.
