BOOTH’S THEATRE,
23d Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues,
New York, June 2d 1869
Mr. H.W. Bryant
Dear Sir,
Pray forgive my delay in acknowledging yr very kind letter. I have barely time to attend to the many business communications I receive. The two portraits you speak are already in my possession – that of my Father hangs in my green-room among a host of others. Never-
the-less – I thank you, and hope when you visit New York you will call at my theatre. By sending yr card, with a word to remind me of the “subject now under discussion”, I will be pleased to show you the green-room with its collection of Dramatic Worthies.
Very Truly Yours
Edwin Booth
