Letter to John Brodie Innes, acknowledging receipt of Innes' drama, "Thomas C. Becket." Recommends other writings about Thomas Becket.. Transcription: "Cedar Villa Kensington Jan 14. 1879 Sir, I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your Drama, Thos: a'Becket. I regret to say that the work I have to do leaves my little leaisure for merely literary study. I think you have hardly seized the grandeur and dignity of the great prelate's character, and I would suggest to you the careful study of Luisand's History of the period, and of Mrs. Hope's life of Sr. Thos. a Becket. Aubrey de Vere's Tragedy might also interest you. Believe me to remain yours truly T. Napel" Letter, signed by sender. Envelope included. Sent from Cedar Villa, Kensington.
