Autograph, signed and dated 8/5/[18]92.
Lacks Act 2.
Note on title-page in Janey Drysdale's hand: 'Found among Johnnie's papers. He was to have written the music for this, but I've discovered none except the first chorus, which is among the part songs I sent you. It is very original & very pretty, I think - J.C.D. I don't know what became of the 2nd act.'
