Discusses arrangements for Winter's upcoming visit.
Jefferson indicates that he knows little of Dowden's excellence. Makes reference to the presidency of the Players. Says the reception Winter suggests is "not only proper but almost a duty which a Dramatic club owes to a great Shakespearean scholar."
Jefferson gives dates when he can play for Holland's benefit. Mentions seeing Fechter for the first time on the English stage; will reserve his opinion until he sees him in "Claude Melnotte." Addressed to "Willie."
Jefferson hopes the letter will catch Winter before he leaves England. Indicates that - with all the current turmoil around the world - he is grateful that he is "not in it" and that his "mission is to play good parts and paint bad pictures." Addressed "My dear Willie" and signed "Joe."
Concerns Winter's upcoming visit. Addressed to "Willie" and signed "Joe."
Jefferson indicates he has received books. Will be playing at Daly's next Friday. Indicates "the book is finished," presumably a reference to his autobiography. Addressed to "Willie."
Jefferson hopes Winter will drop in on him at the theater. On letterhead of Booth's Theatre, 23rd Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues. Addressed "My dear Willie" and signed "Joe." Date of letter based on annotation in the hand of William Winter.
The recipient is either William Winter or William Jefferson Winter. Letter signed "Joe." Jefferson will leave tickets at the box office. The date is provided by Winter. Also, at the bottom of this letter, a note by Jefferson Winter in which he indicates that his godfather cut him out of his will for "knowing too much."
Jefferson wishes he could comfort Winter and his wife in "this great affliction," likely a reference to the death of their son Arthur. Tells Winter to "hope that the one who has gone may have escaped the many sorrows" and advises Winter not to stop his tears.
Jefferson questions the length of Wilson Barrett's proposed bill, particularly with regards to Chatterton. Wonders if Barrett would consider anything shorter than the play he suggests, and mentions "would he not shine in the oration scene of Mark Anthony?" He (Jefferson) does not know Mr. Barrett, he "of course could not take the liberty of asking him to alter his proposal." Addressed "My dear Willie" and signed "Joe."
