Autograph Letter Signed 'E. L. Blanchard' from the dramatist Edward Litt Laman Blanchard to Frederick Burgess.

11333 — 6 Adelphi Terrace Strand WC London; 26 July 1878. 3pp. 12mo. Good on lightly-aged paper. Blanchard and his wife 'very seldom go out of a Sunday but should the weather be at all favourable' they will 'make a vigorous effort to avail ourselves of the strong temptation you have so kindly thrown in our way'. They will be 'quite content with an afternoon ramble in your beautiful garden and a chat with dear Mrs. Keeley'. He is sending 'impromptu lines written by my father nearly a Century ago' not present that he believes ought to be in Burgess's possession 'as a double ancestral inheritance'. 6 Adelphi Terrace, Strand, WC [London]; 26 July 1878. unknown
