ARTHUR à BECKETT
Handwritten letter by the English humorist, obliged to cancel an appointment
Autograph Letter signed: "Arthur A. Beckett", 1 page, 4½x7. 24 Gloucester Street, Maverick Square SW [London], 1884 August 25. To "My dear Mr. Levaine", in full: "I am afraid I asked Mr. Wheeler to look in at 12 o'clock tomorrow Tuesday. I find I can't be at [?] Street that 4:30 pm. Will you kindly let him know (Unhappily I haven't got his address here or I would write myself.) this alteration in our arrangements. You might wire to him. Always yours truly". English journalist and humorist Arthur William à Beckett (1844-1909) wrote for Punch magazine (1874-1902) and was editor of the Sunday Times (1891-1895). He wrote several humorous books, beginning with Comic Guide to the Royal Academy (1864). He also wrote to comedy plays, and a novel Fallen Among Thieves (1869). Edges frayed. Multiple mailing folds. Otherwise, fine condition.
