Autograph letter signed to [John] Cabourn,

Playwright and founder of Dockland Settlements (died 1966). 4 pp, 12mo. "So many apologies for taking you down to the Savoy for nothing, but the moment Mrs Potter told me she had to motor down to Staines I 'phoned all over the place in an attempt to stop you but I suppose it was too late. [...] I am very anxious for you to play a rather important part in my new play which Mrs Potter is now producing. [...] the salary is for everone microscopic as Mrs Potter as you know now has only a very little but she is staking all on my play & it means almost for certain a long engagement for America. [...] Miss Maud Fealy produces "the Chetwynd Affair" in America this autumn & hopes for a big success. [...]". Separated down the bifoliate crease and neatly repaired with archival tape.
