Autograph letter signed from Clifton W. Tayleure, Long Branch, New Jersey, to William Winter, Tomkinsville, Staten Island [manuscript], 1890 May 21.

Tayleure compliments Winter on his memoir The press and the stage. Tayleure further indicates that, despite his feeling that he took the "wrong pathway," it is too late for him to retrace his steps, so he moves forward "with more peace of soul however than Macbeth." Also discusses a quotation from Samuel Butler's Hudibras, which Tayleure believes Winter misquoted.
