Two Typed Letters Signed ('Naomi Jacob.'), author and actress, to Eva Lawrence.
Both letters 8vo, 1 p; the first on pink paper. Both texts clear and complete. Both fair, on lightly-aged and creased paper. Letter One: She was surprised to learn that Lawrence had 'Miss Babbington with you because I did not even know that she was on the stage. I thought she was with a publishing house.' After the 'long and wonderful run' she is sorry that Lawrence's leading lady is leaving. 'Although I never intend to go back to the stage again, I shall always have the same keen interest in matters theatrical [...] the variety profession is my first love'. Letter Two: She thanks her for the souvenir programme of 'Annie Get Your Gun', but feels compelled to say that she thinks 'a more representative list of names could have been chosen [...] I am sure that His Majesty, God bless him, would prefer to be entertained by people who belong to that grand Profession and who are, as far as possible, British'.
