Three letters from theater historian and biographer Joseph Norton Ireland to collector and biographer Douglas Taylor .<br /> <br /> 1. Letter dated December 8th 1897. 1 pp. Ireland tells Taylor of the decline in his physical and mental faculties before he summarizes his collection which includes the Treasurer's books of the Old Park Theater portraits & photographs of performers and bound sets of playbills. Finally he offers a nearly complete set of John Boydell's Shakespeare engravings for the amount of $40.<br /> <br /> 2. Letter dated December 16th 1897. 2 pp.Taylor clearly wanted the Boydell engravings as Ireland's second letter was sent with an enclosed return check to Taylor who had overpaid for the set. "I return your check for $40 as I think you misunderstand my writing 'I would see all for that amount' I then referred to the Shakespeare engravings which were at the close of my letter the small ones and the large ones and I meant to say I would sell them all large & small for that amount. I think the whole collection is worth rather more than that." <br /> <br /> 3. Letter dated March 4th 1898. 1 pp. Contains a short list of Ireland's collection of autograph letters all bound which he suspects "will be of little use" to Taylor.<br /> <br /> Ioseph Norton Ireland 1817-1898 wrote "Records of the New York Stage from 1750-1860 1866; "Mrs. Duff" 1882; and "A memoir of the professional life of Thomas Abthorpe Cooper" 1888.<br /> <br /> Douglas Taylor 1830-1913 was president of the Dunlap Society whose own biographical works included "Autobiography of Clara Fisher Maeder" 1897 and "Autobiographical sketch of Mrs. John Drew" 1899. unknown
