SELOUS
(Angiolo Robson, 1812-1883, Playwright)
Long interesting Autograph Letter Signed to 'My dear Sir',
(Benjamin Nottingham WEBSTER, 1797-1882, actor and from 1837 lessee of the Haymarket theatre), saying that "the Reputation for enterprize which you so justly deserve, induces me to make the following proposal to you ... I have a fine Art Play" suitable "for the only Theatre in London, not desecrated by the Mummeries of Ballet and Spectacle", as "a stranger to you ... I will deposit ... one hundred Pounds" to be compensation for failure, or a present if successful, "a very slight insight into the style and construction will ... be sufficient ... If therefore you will permit me some Sunday morning ... at your own residence I will read you a portion of one act ... the principal members of your talented company would be required ... Messrs Farren, Hudson, Holt, Brindal and Stewart, with Mrs Seymour and Miss Fortescue. - Such, Mr Webster is my proposal plainly and frankly told", and suggesting "my Cheque on Hankey's & Co" as perhaps sufficient reference, 2 sides 4to., 15 St. George's Terrace, Kennington, no date, watermark
