ALS, two pages on two adjoining sheets, 5 x 8, blindstamped Lyceum Theatre letterhead, December 12, 1890. Letter to a lady, in part: "I think Mr. Irving has cigar cases of all sorts…pigskin, snakeskin, crocodile, silver, tortoiseshell…I think he really prefers something plain." He goes on to recommend "the best cigars I know." In fine condition, with intersecting folds. Stoker worked as business manager for Henry Irving's world-famous Lyceum Theatre in London between 1879 and 1898, where he supplemented his income by writing a large number of sensational novels—his most famous being the vampire tale Dracula, published in 1897.
