HENRY CLAY BARNABEE 



16 ROANOKE AVE. 

 JAMAICA PLAIN. MASS. 



My dear friend : — 



For over fifty years I was on the 

 American stage and enjoyed a career that has made 

 the sunset of my life serene and happy. 



Have been at work for some years 

 preparing my reminiscences in which I know you 

 will be interested. These will be published in 

 book form by the Chappie Publishing Company of 

 Boston and I hope we can have your name as one of 

 the charter subscribers for the book which will 

 be liberally illustrated and issued in handsome 

 binding. 



The publishers have kindly consented 

 to make on this limited edition a price of $2.50, 

 about the price you have paid for your theatre 

 tickets to see the "Bostonians" and Ideals with 

 myself as "The Sheriff of Nottingham. ■ Instead of 

 having one night at the theatre with Henry Clay 

 Barnabee you can now have a cordial visit through 

 the autographed edition of my book, limited only 

 by the remembrance and sweet companionship of 

 those illustrious personages I have met and known 

 during my fifty years on the stage. 



With best regards, I am, 



Sincerely yours,' 



P. S. I have written this to you because I feel 

 that you know me and will want one of the books. 

 Could you fill out the enclosed order and send to 

 me and you can send the money after you have 

 received the book and looked it over and feel that 

 you have as good measure of value in the book as 

 in the old days of the "Bostonians."
