Five letters, each 1p., 4to. In fair condition, aged and creased. ONE: Palace Theatre, 4 July 1912. In capitals. Conveying the thanks of the King and Queen to the members of the orchestra for their work at the previous night's royal performance, and adding, for Finck: 'I have already told you how much I appreciate what you did on Monday night and the splendid manner in which you conducted. The success of the performance would have been impossible without your invaluable assistance.' TWO: Garrick House, 23 March 1921. Begins: 'I need hardly say that having regard to my very lengthy assocation with the Palace Theatre it is a matter of keen personal regret to me that I should be severing my connection with this magnificent Theatre, but the offer which the London Palace (1921) Limited made to the Shareholders (and which has to-day been completed) was of such a nature that I did not feel justified in refusing to recommend it to them for their acceptance.' He praises Finck as 'a pillar of strength' who has 'helped me from the Orchestral side to - I think I can say it without egotism - enhance the prestige and reputation of the Palace Theatre until it enjoyed a position which is unique in the Entertainkent World.' He hopes to associate with him in the future, and together with his colleagues wishes to show his appreciation 'in a practical manner', and so is enclosing a cheque for £250 (the figure being added in autograph). THREE: Drury Lane, 28 September 1926. In order to show their appreciation to Finck, the 'Directors of Drury Lane and Messrs Daniel Mayer Company' are enclosing a cheque for £50. FOUR: Drury Lane, 15 April 1931. Addressed to Finck but apparently a circular, announcing the resignation of his 'position as Chairman of Drury Lane', and thanking his 'very hard-working, conscientious and loyal staff'. FIVE: Seymour House, 23 April 1931. Thanking him for subscribing to 'the really beautiful gift', adding 'The delightful manner in which you recall the many years during which we have worked together, and convey to me your good wishes for my future health and happiness will always be one of my most treasured possessions.' He ends by praising Finck's 'great knowledge of the Theatre, your ability to do your job, your loyalty and enthusiasm'. From the Herman Finck papers.

3pp., 12mo. Fair, on aged paper. Mathews begins by quoting contradictory passages from letters of Charles Mathews, one from Mrs Mathews' 'Memoirs of Charles Mathews, Comedian' (1839) and the other from Bunn's 'The Stage: Both before and behind the Curtain' (1840). Regarding a performance in Dublin in 1811, the letter Mrs Mathews quotes complains that, although Mathews had been led to believe £600 would be raised, and despite a full house, 'When every account was closed, the sum-up was 470l.' In the letter quoted by Bunn, Mathews states that he never 'played to one full house in Dublin, but once, in Crow Street; and then they knocked down the door-keepers and got in for nothing. 289/., was returned for the greatest number of people ever collected in the building' Mrs Mathews has clearly taken offence at Bunn's printed comment that the account given by Mathews in the letter in his book 'does not exactly tally' with that given in the letter in her book. He attempts to placate her with a generous tribute to her husband: 'In all the relationships of life, public or private, I ever found, ever reported, & ever shall report, my departed friend, as a pattern of greatness not to be surpassed.' Bunn hopes she will permit him to pay his respects 'ere the week wanes'. In a postscript he writes: 'I had a chat with Charles about this very letter, before he started for Dublin.' At the foot of the first page Mrs Mathews notes, of the £289, 'This alludes to the first account. A M'; and along the foot of the second and third pages, 'Money was afterwards paid in which brought the total receipt to 470 | A M'.
