Summary
Correspondents: George Reid, A.W., Miss Bouverie, and [Edward H. Dixon?]. (1), from Dixon at 150 Oxford Street, indicates that, if Percy Fitzgerald, who had access to the archives of the Lord Chamberlain's Office, did not cite them in his chapter on Cibber and Cappell [sic], it must be that he did not find anything in them to cite. (2), from George Reid and on card of the St. James Theatre, requests a voucher for a dress circle seat for a new play by W.S. Gilbert. (3), from A.W. and on letterhead of Walden, Cobham, Surrey, mentions a performance of Ravenswood at the Lyceum. Also, a clipping describing the "disagreeable incident" at this performance, which is referenced in the letter
