Robert Buchanan letter and poem, between 1860-1901.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/60194676

This collection contains an undated manuscript poem and a letter. The poem, entitled A Vesper hymn, is in three verses and is presumably in Buchanan's hand. Robert Buchanan's signature is pasted on the bottom of the page. The letter to My Dear Sir (N. Howe at close) is dated Sept. 30, 1878 and asks in confidence if the recipient knows if there might be an opening at the Haymarket Theatre for his new comedy. Buchanan refers in the letter to a previous acquaintance during the rehearsal of his play, a Madcap prince, performed in 1875 (which featured a Mr. Howe.)
