LS, one page, 4.5 x 7, personal Queen's Mansions letterhead, June 7, 1887. Addressed from London, a letter to Paul Richard, in part: “With regard to your attractive proposition, for which I am obliged, I think it would be better that, sometime when I am in Berlin, or, if you should be in London that we should meet and personally discuss the subject. I am unable, until that has been done, to give you a definite reply to the subjects mentioned in your letter of the 7th.” Notation to the reverse indicates that the letter was penned in the hand of Sullivan's secretary, Walter Smythe. In fine condition.
