13a. Cable to stop short: 'Henry, I ...' and Eliza's disturbed issue in bits (12)

I have HALTERIA.IZE and assume the missing letter is L, but why? It starts with an anagram of HAL and ends with an anagram of ELIZA, but I can't fit TERI in the middle

Aha! That goes back to my earlier thinking that HALT was the stop short.

Many thanks JJ109.
Down to last few, but would appreciate help with 29a and 31a. Still struggling to work with the special instructions - most of my answers have been more luck than judgement!
