Autograph letter signed from W. Gurney Benham, Colchester, to Dr. Rendall [manuscript], 1931 December 6.

Concerns a picture of the Swan Theatre, apparently copied from a rough drawing in a London letter from the traveller Johannes de Witt. Benham adds that "the figure in the picture very strongly suggests Malvolio. I do not know what the attendant Lady is supposed to be holding in her right hand?"

2 leaves ; 19 x 12 cm.
