Description

Inscription

[handwritten] Tuesday Sep 24th

Dear Sir

I am compelled in reply to your letter to say that Mrs. Bancroft has for some years made it a rule never to have a free stall (with the single exception of a favor "first nights" only) but will have pleasure in offering you a seat in a circle box.

Yours faithfully

S Bancroft

Wentworth Sturgeon
