See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. On a bifolium the blank second leaf of which is laid down on part of a leaf from an album. Folded twice for postage. The recipient is 'Henry Spicer Esq', presumably a relation of the artist of the same name (d.1804; see ODNB), several of whose theatrica…l portraits are in the Garrick Club collection. Webster has been given 'infinite pleasure' by his 'generous offer': 'Be assured the Dramatic College is a most prosperous institution & well deserving your patronage.' He asks him to 'call at our offices 15 Bedford Street Covent Garden', where he will 'see a full confirmation of what I state'. In a postscript he asks him to allow Webster to 'announce this extra Godsend this week. The cost does not exceed £250 as per agreement'.

1p, 4to. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Thin strip of paper from mount adhering to edge on blank reverse. Folded three times. Signed and dated at foot: 'Leman Rede/ | 31. May 1841'. Addressed at bottom left: 'To | Mrs. Keeley.' The poem, clearly an impromptu effort and not of the highest quality, reads: 'Writing Faust…us (sad fate) I a blood vessel broke; | Last week's work was sufficient to rend it; | But Keeley came: sang - Keeley look'd & she spoke, | And her tones are sufficient to mend it: | Take my thanks & God send you may yet live to see | A piece from my pen that is worthy of thee.'.

1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. The recipient is not named. An interesting letter, indicating the relationship between two major theatrical figures in Victorian London. The main body of the letter reads: 'Dear Sir, | You really must excuse my incurring any such responsibility as that you would impose upon me. I am una…ble to controul Mr. Webster's actions and do not see why I should take upon myself a risk in a matter in which I have no possible interest.' Mathews has added subsequently, in a smaller hand: '(especially as my private belief is that Mr Webster never reads the pieces at all. He has at least half a dozen in hand at this moment that I know of.)'.

See his entry, and that of his son, in the Oxford DNB. The topic of this letter is referred to in the second volume of Dickens's edition of the son's life, 1879. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with strip of tape from mount adhering at edge of blank second leaf and two folds for postage. Addressed to 'Dear…Harley' and signed 'C Mathews.' He begins by thanking him for his 'kind enquiries', and (with regard to his son the actor Charles James Mathews) writes that 'Our dear good Charles thank God! is recovered, and writes in excellent spirits from Florence. His disorder has been small pox! So much for vaccination! for of all the victims I have ever witnessed to that system, he was the greatest - as his face was covered with frightful blotches for two years after inoculation.' He claims that the 'English Physician' who attended the boy 'hand no hesitation from the first in pronouncing it to be Small Pox', but that 'this was concealed from us'. 'He accounts rationally for 3 weeks of silence - namely that he was blind. "The first reason will do."' He has had 'irksome work to play comforter to an almost broken hearted mother - and six nights per week to mimic gladness when the heart was sad'. He ends with renewed thanks for the 'kind note, which my wife equally appreciates'.

3pp, 4to. Bifolium. In fair condition, aged and worn, with closed tears and thin vertical strip of paper on reverse of second leaf, which carries a seal in black wax and Yates's address to 'T. P. Cooke Esqre. | 28 Manchester Street | Manchester Square'. An interesting letter regarding a Victorian stage dispute. In an understated… style, Yates makes a serious accusation: Cooke has broken his word over the manuscript of Fitzball's play 'The Red Rover' (Yates had produced the piece with himself in the title role in 1828, and would do so again in 1831). The subtext is that by such an action Cooke is not a gentleman. It begins: 'Sir. | Since you have done me the honor to address me by Letter I conceive it incumbent upon me to return you a written answer. | The M S. of the Red Rover Mr Mathews & my property I allowed you to have copied upon an express understanding & pledge that you were to make use of it in the Edinboro Theatre only. Upon your refusal to comply with the terms of your Engagement here, you thought proper to make use of the copy I permitted you to take of our M. S. with an additional act compiled by yourself at the Surrey Theatre - which I consider to be a positive breach of your word.' He continues in the same tone, stating that he has learnt that Cooke has 'paid Mr Grove our Prompter a Guinea for making the Copy', and that Cooke is also claiming the first two acts as his property. As 'possessor of the Copyright' Yates can only return the manuscript with a 'veto that they shall only be made use of in Edinburgh', but as Cooke has 'already considered [his] promise as not binding', Yates does not expect him to 'pay any attention'.
