[ Walter Jerrold, English writer. ] Humorous manuscript address to him, signed by nine authors including Arthur St John Adcock, Alfred George Gardiner ('Alpha of the Plough'), William Archer, George Sampson and Keighley Snowden, on reverse of menu.

2pp., 12mo. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. The menu is written out in faint pencil on one side, beneath the letterhead. On the other side, and headed with the date 4 June 1919 is the following playful address: 'Dear Jerrold, | "Carry on"! | This has no reference to the food we have just eaten. | You Walter [pun on 'ought to'] be here because you're a Jerrold [pun on 'dear old'] fellow. | And so say all of us.' Beneath this are nine signatures, two of which are undeciphered. The other seven are those of: William Archer [(1856-1924), critic]; Frederick Watson [(1885-1935), author]; A St John Adcock [Arthur St John Adcock (1864-1930), author]; A. G. Gardiner [Alfred George Gardiner (1865-1946), writer and journalist, 'Alpha of the Plough']; George Sampson [(1873-1950), critic]; C. E. Lawrence [Charles Edward Lawrence (1870-1940), author]; Keighley Snowden [J. Keighley Snowden (1860-1947), author]..
