| Title | 2 letters from Florence Boucicault to Dion Boucicault, Jr. (Dot), giving him information about the family of Samuel Smith Boursiquot, their emigration from France and settling in Ireland; she mentions that Arthur Smith Boursiquot had an interest in Guiness's bank and that William Smith Boursiquot was a clerk there. Accompanied by an explanatory note by Christopher Calthrop, who dates the letters ca. 1899 or 1900, due to the mention of the play WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS; but as Dot's new wife (Irene Vanbrugh) is mentioned, 1901, when WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS was also produced, is the more likely year. |
