PROWSE, William Jeffery (1836-1870). Humorist.
Autograph Letter Signed to Clarke, 1 page 8vo (typewritten note of identification at the head), 4 Guildford Street, Russell Square, 3 November 1865. A gratifyingly humourous letter requesting seats for Don Giovanni.

'In that quaint and versatile old author "The Times" occurs the following passage ...:
"... Monday next, November 6, will be presented for the last time Mozart's grand opera Il Don Giovanni
Now, personally, I don't believe that statement. I think the Don will still be "Presented" even in 1866 - who knows? perhaps in 1867 itself! ...'
