A.C. Swinburne to "Dear Madam," 25 August 1902 Box 1, Folder 52, Item 13

Responds to request for theatrical information: "I should be happy if I could be of any service to any friend of George Powell's. But I know nothing of the stage or of the costume proper to a heroine of Villon's, and no portrait of the lady who undertakes the part would help me to any suggestion. So I can only send you both my best wishes for her success."

Thanks receipient "for sending me the notes from my grandfather. He was 91, not 94, in 1853. The latter date must have been a slip of the pen or a lapse of memory, unless all other records of his age are wrong. He died in the summer of 1860."

Content Warning

ARVAS is an aggregator of archival resources. ARVAS does not have control of the descriptive language used in our members’ finding aids.

Finding aids may contain historical terms and phrases, reflecting the shared attitudes and values of the community from which they were collected, but are offensive to modern readers. These include demeaning and dehumanizing references to race, ethnicity, and nationality; enslaved or free status; physical or mental ability; religion; sex; and sexual orientation and gender identity.

Many institutions and organizations are in the process of reviewing and revising their descriptive language, with the intent to describe materials in more humanizing, inclusive, and harm-reductive ways. As members revise their descriptive language, their changes will eventually be reflected in their ARVAS finding aids.
