(1) Addressed from Lauret's Studio. Concerning an error which reflects badly on Booth who asks that redress be carried in the New York tribune. Winter passed the letter by Whitelaw Reid who wrote a comment, signed and dated it Tribune Office, 17 April 1871 on the verso of the second leaf. A stamped monogram on first leaf was cut out. (2) a telegram sent from Booth in Boston to Winter in Tompkinsville: "Have not his address. My dearest sympathy is yours." He is likely referring to the death of Winter's son, Arthur
