Description: M. Macklin writes her father from London asking that he attend her benefit. She claims that she would be the joke of both theatres, particularly Covent Garden, if he did not attend. In the post script, she updates her father on Woodward House and fellow actresses. Macklin's father is probably Charles Macklin and M. Macklin probably refers to Maria Macklin. Page 4 contains notes written by Charles Macklin regarding correspondence with his daughter. A description of the letter with notations is attached. The letter contains a watermark.
