To The Editor

Sir,—

It having been basely insinuated, particularly in

Hobart Town, that Mr. Cameron has incurred his present

difficulties through extravagance on his part, and not

through disappointments, permit me in your Newspaper to

contradict the representations.

Mr. Cameron has been misled and disappointed as to

the time the Theatre in Hobart Town would have been

completed; to which source alone are to be attributed his

present embarrassments. When the new Theatre was

first mentioned, it was promised, by manv in Hobart Town,

to be ready at the conclusion of the first season in Laun-

ceston — nearly ten months ago; and which induced Mr.

Cameron to incur many expenses to enable him to open

his season in Hobart Town with the most efficient com-

pany he could possibly obtain. The Theatre was not

ready as promised; which caused many other expenses

we otherwise could have avoided.

I am sure that both Mr. Cameron and myself have

done everything in our power to maintain the Theatre, on

both sides of the Island, in the highest state of respecta-

bility; and it is too bad that any evil disposed persons

should be allowed to misrepresent his affairs to his preju-

dice with his supporters, and even to the annoyance of

our domestic circle. He is now suffering for part of those

expenses, which, if time is given, (as it ought to be,) he

will ever feel himself bound to liquidate; but he is too

proud to benefit himself by any Act, if even he could

obtain his freedom immediately. By inserting the above

you will confer a favor.

I remain, Sir,

Your obedient servant.

CORDELIA CAMERON.
