Autograph letter signed from Raymond James Grant, Lyceum, to Mrs. Garrick, Adelphi [manuscript], 1810 October 15.

As manager of the Lyceum Theatre, he humbly petitions her to enable him to release a very old servant of Drury Lane from prison, Mr. Alexander Johnstone, who was there during her husband's management. He has been confined upwards of two months in a bad state of health and has sent him a petition to raise a subscription for him. Any aid she could bestow will be a real charity. With integral address leaf.
