Works of Charles and Mary Lamb. VI-VII. Letters
Charles Lamb to John Forster, [May 1833]
DR F. Can you oblige me by sending 4 Box orders
undated for the Olympic Theatre? I suppose Knowles can get ’em. It is for the
Waldens, with whom I live. The sooner, the better,
that they may not miss the “Wife”—I meet you at the Talfourds’ Saturday week, and if they can’t,
perhaps you can, give me a bed.
Yours ratherish unwell
C. Lamb.
Mr. Walden’s, Church Street, Edmonton.
Or write immediately to say if you can’t get em.
James Sheridan Knowles (1784-1862)
Irish-born playwright, author of
Virginius (1820),
Caius Gracchus (1823),
William Tell (1825)

Sir Thomas Noon Talfourd (1795-1854)
