22488No place or date. The text is on one side of a 13 x 16 cm piece of laid watermarked paper. The signature 'J. Kemble' is at bottom left in slightly-darker ink than the fifteen lines of text. Lightly aged and with short closed tears at edges of two folds. Slight traces of brown-paper mount at top corners on reverse which carries a capable ink drawing of 'the Caducean Trident' mentioned in the text: a dragon with two sets of wings body stiff as a rod encircled by two snakes. The text which has a few deletions and interpolations indicating original composition may refer to a prop required for a dramatic production by Kemble. It reads: 'Albion having accepted from his cousin Mercury God of Commerce his original Caduceus and from his father Neptune his original Trident requested of Vulcan to new mould them making the two into one badge of sovereign authority symbolical of commercial supremacy and marine dominion. In compliance with this request Vulcan produced the Caducean Trident. The Dragon is the symbol of a military marine; vigilant swift terrible and potent; and the Serpents are the types of the sagacity address and prudence of Commerce which is the source and foundation of naval power; and therefore this symbolical sceptre of Albion is in a tridental form well at sic its lower as well as its upper extremity.'

The context of the letter is explained in Fawcett's entry in the Oxford DNB: 'In September 1829 Fawcett was superseded in the management of Covent Garden … the theatre in which he had been a main prop for thirty-nine years. With a salary of £100 a year allowed him as treasurer and trustee of the Covent Garden Theatrical Fund he retired to a cottage at Botley near Southampton.' The letter begins: 'Some weeks back I enclos'd you a draft for £10 intended for the Widow Paulo. - Since which I have by Coach directed for you my private Book of Accts. Of C: G: Fund with a request that you wou'd return it to me when done with.' As being without the book is inconvenient to Fawcett and it is unsatisfactory 'to want knowledge of either transmittance reaching their destination' he asks him 'to send my Book directed for me to the care of Mr Joseph Lomer Southampton by Colyers Coach from Bell Savage Ludgate Hill or Old White Horse Cellar Piccadilly' these being two leading coaching inns. Fawcett will be obliged by 'any intelligence about balance or other Fund news'. Postscript: 'Be so kind as to send the Bankers book to be made up – and after it is done – let it come with the other'.

See the appreciative entry on Buckstone by Donald Roy in the Dictionary of National Biography. Interesting and informative letters shedding vivid light on the day-to-day workings of early-Victorian theatre written by a leading London actor-manager and dramatist and sent to a provincial actor-manager regarding the arrangement of engagements benefits and plays. Of particular interest is the fourth letter which refers to Mrs Fitzwilliam Fanny Frances Elizabeth Fitzwilliam née Copeland 1801-1854 with whom Buckstone toured New Orleans and the South c. 1840-1841. Five items. Total of 7pp 4to. Each on a bifolium. Aged and worn each with a central spike-hole and all with traces of mount adhering along one edge. ONE: 20 August 1839; Theatre Royal Haymarket. Reverse of second leaf with broken seal in red wax postmark King Street Covent Garden and address to 'M. H. Simpson Esq Theatre Royal Birmingham'. 1p. Presumably referring to a Birmingham benefit he states that although there is no person he would 'rather endeavour to serve than Mr. Monro' 'Friday the 30th is unfortunately one of the days or rather nights on which “Single Life†is fixed to be acted and Mr. Webster the actor Benjamin Nottingham Webster 1797-1882 lessee of the Haymarket cannot give permission for my absence'. He even 'waited till to-day to see Mr. W & be certain of public arrangement'. He reports that 'We are doing greatly here comedy nights and all' and ends in the hope that 'things are flourishing at Brummagem'. He ends with regards 'to Mr. Monro and Mrs. Simpson'. TWO: Undated on paper with watermarked date 1839; 'Theatre Royal Liverpoo'l. 2pp. Closely written. He begins by explaining that Webster 'brings out a new play of Bulwers on Wednesday in which I am not concerned' and that 'there is not the shadow of a doubt that he will refuse me further leave of absence'. He 'would rather play for Simpson's benefit on Friday the 22nd. which I have no doubt I shall be able to do'. He states that he will arrange with Simpson before he leaves Birmingham adding: 'I enclose you books of the Melodrama of Peter Bell which I think would act well at Birmingham. It will require getting up and can't be too soon put in hand – if you can do it we shall want a waggon and horses'. He enjoins him to 'read it attentively' and give his opinion of a detailed itinerary for the purpose of Simpson making up playbills for four days ending in 'Friday Benefit – Mr Buckstones last new comedy of Single Life and Peter Bell perhaps'. The itinerary features two of Buckstone's plays premiered in London in 1838 and 1839: 'The Duchess de la Vaubaliere - I think I called it The Dukes Bride†- you can refer to the bills and ascertain and “Weak Pointsâ€'. Also 'for this night only “The Lottery Ticketâ€'. He continues: 'What do you say to this arrangement - I shall write positively on Wednesday – but I am so sure of being able to be with you that you may be getting the Duchess and Peter Bell ready.' Postscript: 'My part in Peter Bell will be “Martin†The Tinker'. THREE: 29 April 1840; 'Theatre. Royal. Adelphi'. 1p. Addressed with broken seal in red wax and 1840 postmark to 'M. H. Simpson Theatre Royal Birmingham'. The letter begins: 'Mr. Yates has only this morning decided that he will close on Wedy the 6th. May on Saty. the 9th. at the latest – in which case I can act with you if the time will agree with your arrangements or Monday the 11th. May for 5 nights – or commence Monday the 18th.' He gives a preference explaining that he is 'in treaty with another Theatre for the 18th. or thereabouts'. If his suggested date is agreeable he will send 'the Manuscript of “Poor Jack†premiered at the Adelphi 3 February 1840 and arrange my pieces for the week.' Simpson writes on the cover: 'Engaged for the 11th of May 1840 M. H. Simpson terms as before'. FOUR: 29 November 1842; 'Theatre. Royal. Haymarket. 2pp. 4to. On bifolium with ANS by Simpson on recto of second leaf: 'Accepted. Decr. 3./42 on the terms proposed – except that they are to pay their share of Authors fees on the benefit nights M. H. S.' Begins: 'As I have a long rehearsal of a New Comedy to-day I find I cannot get to Broad Court: i.e. the London street where Simpson was staying at the Wrekin Tavern see Letter Four I have seen Mrs. Fitzwilliam as to an arrangement conjointly with me at Birmingham'. He proceeds to put his proposal regarding arrangements including 'a clean half of the Friday for her benefit or mine whichever we may decide may be most advantageous for all parties … We have plenty of Novelty of a high order – 2 pieces quite new – viz – The Belle of the Hotel or American Sketches and The Snapping Turtles – which I think will run almost through the engagement: Mrs. F has also her own Copyright pieces – Foreign Airsi.e. 'Foreign Airs and Native Graces' by W. T. Moncrieff a play which 'Mrs. Fitzwilliam J. B. Buckstone and others from the Ludlow-Smith company from New Orleans' performed in May 1841 – Out of Place &c. & will play her original part in “Single Life†- indeed I think we can make it of mutual advantage. She will also play “Rosalind†“The Country Girl†&c. as I think we can make a very strong arrangement for the 10 nights – giving you the option if it answers all purposes of taking us on our return to London at a future period'. He ends with reference to 'several Benefits at the Haymarket at which we have been solicited to act'. FIVE: Undated; 'Theatre. Royal. Haymarket. 1p 4to. Bifolium addressed on reverse of second leaf with broken seal in red wax to 'W. sic Simpson Esqr Wrekin i.e. the Wrekin Tavern Broad Court Bow Street London'.

2389016 March no year but between 1960 and 1963; on letterhead of the Observer London. Wardle worked as Kenneth Tynan’s deputy on the Observer between 1959 and 1963. Wynne-Rushton had published a play titled ‘The Gull’s Way’ in 1930 and a book on the papacy for Catholic publishers Burns Oates and Washburne two years later. 2pp 4to. In fair condition folded three times with wear and loss along one fold line of the second leaf resulting in loss of a few words of text. Signed ‘Irving Wardle’ and addressed to ‘Dear Mr. Rushton’ identified as G. W. Wynne-Rushton by associated correspondence. He does not feel that he can be of much help to Wynne-Rushton ‘in suggesting possible markets’ for his work. Regarding the 1960 BBC TV production of Saunders Lewis’s ‘Siwan’ he writes: ‘It so happened that by the same post that brought your letter I received a note from Emyr Humphreys the producer of SIWAN in which he said how much difficulty he had encountered in getting the BBC to agree to a television production of a play so remote from the current idioms: had it not been an appropriate choice for St. David’s Day the work might not have been seen at all.’ He suggests Wynne-Rushton try J. Roose-Evans manager of the Hampstead Theatre Club which staged the play of ‘Siwan’ and ‘might be interested in other historical pieces . And of course you can’t lose anything by sending scripts in to the script department of the BBC and independent networks in the normal way. And I wouldn’t ignore radio - they’re also hard up for material and much less nervous about adverse ratings and for that reason freer in their choice of material even when it doesn’t reflect what happens to be in fashion’. 16 March [no year, but between 1960 and 1963]; on letterhead of the Observer, London. unknown
