S.J. Arnold letter to C. Wheatstone, between 1829-1841.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/57358497

Arnold's letter to the eminent scientist Sir Charles Wheatstone subjoins an order for that evening's performance of Marschner's opera Der Vampyr, val which was not going to be performed. Arnold expresses hope that Phillips, the actor, would be well enough to perform one night the following week. The undated letter was most likely penned between 1829 and 1841. The opera was performed in London after 1829, and Arnold retired from managing the House in 1841. The letter, with integral envelope, was posted from "T.R.E.O.H." [Theatre Royal, English Opera House].
