Invitation says that Professor and Mrs. Anderson have the honor to write to the captain, officers and men of the USS "Sabine" inviting them to see the play "Magic & Second Sight" at the Theatre Royal. The professor says he has always felt kindness toward the United States, especially because two of his daughters are natives there. Hopes they will accept because the season ends on Saturday night. Written on Anderson's personal stationery.

Walker, John George, 1821-1893
