Folger-specific note
Augustin Daly's disbound stage copy. Leaves pasted on folded sheets of notebook paper, with Daly's blue-pencil and brown-ink revisions for his 1892 production of The foresters. Manuscript t.p.: Under green leaves, or The foresters and Maid Marian / by Lord Tennyson. Daly reduced the play from 5 to 4 acts by conflating a number of scenes, tightening the action, and deleting speeches. Another hand, perhaps Tennyson's later hand, writes over some of the blue-pencil suggestions in brown ink and adds further notes in pencil. Enclosed are two playbills of Daly's Theatre advertising The foresters for the 18th and 19th of March, 1892.
