Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life of John Philip Kemble, Esq., Vol. 2 of 2: Including a History of the Stage, From the Time of Garrick to the Present Period To Henderson he had no introduction whatever, but a letter written with so much modesty and ta lent, that it procured for him the zealous friendship of that great and good man.

He recommended him to fence regularly with Angelo, and he ex tended his steps rather beyond the common limits Of dancing. Mr. Kemble, though a graceful figure, learned his perfect stage deportment under Le Picq. Henderson made him known, as a young man whom he esteemed, to Cumberland and to Hayley, to Mr. Whiteford and Mr. Steevens and Harley knew how to profit by such minds, and become agreeable to such men.
