Zustand: Very good. [April], [1884]., [1884]. Very good. - Over 52 words penned on 7-1/2 inch high by 5-1/8 inch wide "The Lotos Club" stationery. Writing from New York, Howard Paul asks "Wallis" if he heard from Wyndham? "I have delayed my departure and do not return to England until the 17th of Nov." He goes on to say "I hoped to meet you at the Lotos-Irving dinner last night". Signed "Howard Paul". There is a stain to the bottom left corner of the verso. Once likely mounted in an album, there are gray paper remnants adhering to the right edge of the verso. Very good. The Lotos-Irving dinner, with Henry Irving, was held on April 27, 1884. The American writer, playwright, comic actor and theatrical manager Henry Howard Paul (1830-1905) spent most of his life in the United Kingdom. He first worked in London as a journalist and published "Diaries of American Humor, or Yankee Stories" in serialized form with illustrations by John Leech and wrote the comic play "Diogenes". He married the British singer and actress Isabella Hill with whom he frequently performed as Howard Paul and Mrs. Howard Paul. The actress Letty Lind was their protegee from the age of 10 and Paul later had an affair with her which led to his divorce. After Letty Lind left Paul, he married Florence Kate Arthur and, in his later years, became a theatre manager and returned to journalism.
