Title: Autograph Letter Signed by Actor Henry Maeder Pitt, a Member of the Augustin Daly Company Who Was Active in England and America.
Description: 19th Century. - A one-and-a-half page letter consisting of over 35 words penned on 4-7/8 inch high by 4 inch wide creamy white paper. Responding to Miss Thompson's request, the actor Henry Maeder Pitt is enclosing his autograph and mentions that he is also enclosing "a letter of Charles Keen's and one by H.J. Byron the playwrite" [neither of which are here present]. Signed in full "Henry Maeder Pitt" on the attached integral leaf. There is a small piece out from the bottom corner of the second leaf. Glue and paper remnants at the corners of the blank verso of the second page would indicate that the letter was once mounted in an album. Very good.

The 19th century actor Henry Maeder Pitt was born in Albany, New York in 1850. He was active in England and America and joined the Augustin Daly Company in 1882. His death in NYC from poison on March 7, 1898 was believed to be a suicide. Very good .
