Irish author (1847–1912) best known for his horror classic Dracula. ALS, two pages, 5 x 8, blind-embossed Lyceum Theatre letterhead, March 4, 1877. Stoker writes to Richard Edgcombe in Chelsea. In part: “If it rests with me I will do what I can … but they will never ask my opinion!… Indeed I do not think the acting world will be consulted at all in the matter. The appointment will probably be purely a ‘court’ one.” Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Stoker’s hand. In very fine, fresh condition. R&R COA.
