TERRY Ellen
Autograph Note Signed ("Ellen Terry") a humorous note to an autograph hunter, a girl of "fifteen years old",

Humorous note admonishing the recipient for her collecting habits: “Naughty girl!! […] to “collect autographs” is useless & selfish - but I’ve no time to explain, & you must work out the truth of my words for yourself.” She continues, in jest, “anyhow I forgive you! but you must not forgive yourself.” She ends by relenting and supplying her autograph.

Some water staining at edges and general age toning.
