Robert Daborne writes to Philip Henslowe, soliciting payment for his work. He observes that Henslowe now has a 'full play;' he asks for £12 per play, 'until they be playd.' He asks for 20s now 'but to serv my ordynary turn' until he finishes a play of which Henslowe may have his choice; he advises Henslowe that he 'can have money for papers,' but that he throws himself upon Henslowe with a purpose to deserv yr love.' Daborne observes that 'mr Pallat is much discontented' with Henslowe's neglect of him. The letter concludes with a threat: if Henslowe denies him, he will engage the play otherwise.
