Description: Writing on St. James Hotel stationery, Booth apologizes for his late reply and thanks Boughton for her praise of his work at the Princess's Theatre. He regrets that he is too busy with his engagement at the Lyceum to see her husband, George Boughton, more often and reminisces about working with Henry Irving and seeing him perform "Glaster." The fourth page of the letter is blank.
