| Content Summary: |
... the most sexless and repellent creature he met. It is a terrible year there, with 2,000 unemployed actors in New York. Since he dropped 'Dante' he cannot complain. No one liked it, the Catholics boycotted it, and expenses were prohibitive. He tried it for 2 weeks in New York and one in Philadelphia, but they came fitfully and fortunately he had something else in hand, so after four fugitive performances, the last in Washington to £600-700, he ended it, finding the old plays much more possible and attractive. It was the same story in Manchester &c. though he had thought the novelty and sensation would be more attractive in America, but they want the old not the new & that is universal. The company is enjoying itself and he is well despite the heavy burden of work. He has not heard about her new play and hopes it will succeed. He does not think she needs money and advises her not to spend on new productions. He has done with them. Dreadful journey, bitter weather and he looks forward to the steamer home in ten weeks. "Courage Mathias courage". With best love and God's blessing. |

Is there any possibility of Miner's(?) Theatre being opened for engagement - announcement that Miss Held is playing at Miner's(?) the next Monday. Of course would rather play Haverley's(?) than hand Bernard notice with two broken hearts. All good wishes. |

| Notes: |
Probably a draft telegram and barely legible. The address is in Stoker's hand. The Lyceum Company usually performed at Haverley's Theatre in Brooklyn. Anna Held was a protegee of Florent Ziegfeld. |
