Evidence: | John Murray to Walter Scott, 25 December 1815:
'I was with Lord Byron yesterday. He enquired after you, and bid me say how much he was
indebted to your introduction of your poor Irish friend Maturin, who had sent him a tragedy,
which Lord Byron received late in the evening and read through, without being able to stop. He
was so delighted with it that he sent it immediately to his fellow-manager [at Drury Lane
theatre], the Hon. George Lamb, who, late as it was, could not go to bed without finishing it.
The result is that they have laid it before the rest of the [theatre] Commitee; they, or rather
Lord Byron, feels it his duty to the author to offer it himself to the managers of Covent
Garden.'
