Description
Buckstone writes to Richard Bolton Barton on December 1, year unknown, from Brompton Square to talk about an "order system" that has not yet been adopted by the Lyceum Theatre. He discusses what appears to be a mutual acquaintance, "Jack," and how he is "in" the Great Western Railroad at Paddington. Buckstone mentions how his tenure at the Lyceum is going. Buckstone signature appears on the third page. This appears to have been cut apart and set into a larger piece of paper. The letter starts on the right half of the first page.
