Book Description
Kean declares that he is glad to be able to oblige the recipient with the autograph of Mrs. Kean and wishes he could add his late father's as well, but the few remaining documents in his hand are family papers. Kean also discusses the difficulties involved with a professional visit to Cincinnati. An actor and a producer, Charles Kean was the son of famed actor Edmund Kean, a London street urchin who rose to fame for his portrayals of Shakespearean villains like Shylock and Richard III; like his father, Charles acted in Shakespeare revivals. Charles' wife, Ellen Tree (1806-80) was also a well-known actress and assisted him in his management of the Princess's Theatre. Charles' attention to historical accuracy and scenery led to his selection as a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in 1857; he was also honored as the director of the Windsor Castle theatricals in 1848. Cist, a poet from Cincinnati, had a great collection of autographs.

Book Description
The Captain of the Queen's Scholars [i.e. Thompson] compliments Kean and requests his acceptance of the enclosed tickets for their play (no longer with letter). He writes that their theater has new scenes, mentioning that the back one is very similar to the one in Midsummer night's dream, as it was bought out of the Princess's Theatre.
