Item 4 -- a letter, dated March 21, 1962, from Samuel French Inc., Publishers, to Christopher Calthrop, passing on a request for information from a descendent of Dion Boucicault for information about Josephine Cheney; here it is claimed that Renee Boucicault (Rene Boucicault, an actress), was the daughter of Dion and Josephine (Louise) Boucicault, but other information suggests that she was in fact the daughter of Aubrey Boucicault and thus Dion Boucicault's granddaughter and therefore no blood relation to Josephine Louise; the letter also mentions that Josephine Cheney had had dealings with Samuel French, Inc., "in connection with the Dion Boucicault plays". 9.9.1885-10.12.1956
