MISS KELLY'S LADY TEAZLE.

Some of the papers having censured Wa Kelly form.
dertaking tie part of Lady Teazle, it has been deemed a:
act of justice to cmasnunicate to us the Mowing letters,
the first adereised by that lady to the stage-manage,
previously to her consenting to undertake the dm*,
and the second antssequentlyto her performing it:—

town has been so long accustomed to consider her, through the
presentation of Mien Firm' and all her successors in the part is
this and no other light, that I should really tremble to attempt a
simple reading of her character, from the dread of drateing o
myself a severity of criticism which I have ever bad the
Jbartzs to escape,. and perhaps a censure from the public, V
have hitherto received me witt so much kindness, as cat
