Dr Sir
On my way home I shall most probably come to Pittsburgh and if you choose to give an Engagement on the old Terms thirds & half the Benefit I shall be happy to engage with you. Afterwards a few nights in Baltimore
Your reply to Cincinnati will oblige.
Yours truly
J B Booth
T.O.
If Junius should be with you then I shall expect you to let him have his clear half Benefit, on which occasion I will perform.
