William Worthen Appleton papers, 1773-1853.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/460879309

A collection of 42 theatrical letters, the majority dated in the early 19th century, addressed to William Kenneth, a theatrical agent, and to James Winston, a theatrical manager in England. The letters provide valuable insights into the theatrical profession of the time, and particularly the growing importance of the influence of the theatrical agent. Also, a letter from the Irish poet Thomas Moore, written to Richard Milliken in which he writes of his travels, his family, and the current book on which he is working, TRAVELS OF AN IRISH GENTLEMAN IN SEARCH OF A RELIGION.
