ALS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.5 x 7, Royal Lyceum Theatre letterhead, May 26, 1881. Letter to Mr. Knowles, in full: "Mr. Irving wishes me to ask you if you can tell him if anything has as yet been done about Mr. Charles Lamb Kenney, as it will be necessary to do something before long. If you will kindly let me know how matters stand at present about a fund you spoke Mr. Irving will be in a position to tell Mr. Kenney what effort possible is most likely to do well." In fine condition. Charles Lamb Kenney was a journalist, dramatist, and miscellaneous writer (1821-1881) who included William Makepeace Thackeray and Charles Dickens among his friends. Stoker worked as business manager for Henry Irving's world-famous Lyceum Theatre in London between 1879 and 1898, where he supplemented his income by writing a large number of sensational novels—his most famous being the vampire tale Dracula, published in 1897.
