BOOTH’S THEATRE,

23RD Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues

New York, Sept 1st 1869

My dear Ward, [JQA in pencil]

You must forgive my neglect---overrun with business I’ve only just redeemed yr last letter of 2 months ago.

If you will call at the above address---send yr card to my rooms in [illegible] part of the building facing 6th Ave---I will be pleased


to see you any day twixt Eleven & 1 o’clk---or after 3 [1/2 ?] P.M. You can have anything from my wardrobe you desire.

Sometime ago Rogers wrote me & I (travilling at the time) mislaid his letter & failed to answer it--- forgot it, in fact, until this moment in which


writing to you he has popped into my head. Now, if you see him tell him I am at his service for anything he requires of me in the [matter?] he spoke of---or let me know his address.

Excuse haste

Yours ever

Edwin Booth
