This is a hand-written, hand signed letter from the Jewish opera tenor, John Braham. Circa 1820-30, the paper measures about 4.5\" x 7.25\" and is in generally clean condition with the original, even folds. Braham writes:

My Dear Sir:

If Mr. F--- can arrange his performance at the Drury Theatre so that it will not interfere with the performance on the 21st of Dec, I shall have much pleasure in complying with your request and hope your benefit will be a profitable one. I am yours,

John Braham

This piece is from the estate of Anna Sosenko. Mrs. Sosenko was best known as the manager of the cabaret performer, Hildegarde, and wrote the song, \'Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup\' among others. Later in life she was a producer of many star-studded theatrical events and had relationships with many prominent figures in the world of entertainment.

From Wikipedia on Braham:

John Braham (c. 1774 – 17 February 1856) was an English tenor opera singer born in London. His long career led him to become one of Europe\'s leading opera stars. He also wrote a number of songs, of minor importance, although \"The Death of Nelson\" is still remembered. His success, and that of his offspring in marrying into the British aristocracy, are also notable examples of Jewish social mobility in the early 19th century.
