Scope and Contents note

Asks Amyot and Collier whether a "pageant of the time of Henry VIII" would be an appropriate publication submission for the Shakespeare Society, of which he is now a councillor. Describes and quotes a long passage from the 28-page manuscript, which, he writes, belonged to the king himself, and details his own plans to edit it.
