In this short letter to her playwright friend Jerrold, Mary Shelley requests two tickets for his latest comedy titled Beau Nash, which opened at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, on 16 July. While Mary Shelley had previously written to Amelia Curran in January 1825 that she had little will to enjoy what London had to offer, almost a decade later she can be seen making an effort to go to the theatre, although she does so primarily out of her friendship with the playright.
