Summary

Description
English: Invitation from Leonard Grover to Abraham Lincoln (Tuesday, March 24, 1863) to performance of Hamlet at Grover Theatre in Washington, D.C. (front side)

Text:

Grover's Theatre

March 24' 63

Your Excellency,

It would afford me very great gratification if your Excellency would avail himself of the enclosed certificate for Wednesday night. The play for that evening is Hamlet in the rendition of which character Mr E. L. Davenport probably has no living equal. He will be admirably sustained by Mr Jas Wallack Jr and the remaining members of the Combination.

If your Excellency will permit Mr. Nicolay to acquaint me with your purpose, it will confer a favor.

No public announcement will be made. It is purely to be the instrument to confer a pleasure to meritorious Artist and true Union lover — and at the same time I hope, to minister in some slight degree to your Excellency's gratification, that this offer is made by

Your Excellency's humble Servt. and admirer

Leonard Grover

P. S. An intimation at any time that you may desire any play will be received with pleasure and be promptly attended to. L. G.
