Autograph Letter Signed from Edwin Booth, Southborough, Massachusetts, to George Pomeroy Goodale


Book Description

Mentions meeting the nephew of the author of The actor, an anonymously published account of Junius Brutus Booth. He identifies the author as "Vail -- I forget his first name. He was rather eccentric, I fancy (I met him but once - some years ago) for when I referred to this book he seemed annoyed and abruptly changed the subject and left me." In a postscript, sends regards on behalf of Lawrence Barrett.
