Manuscript letter from 'the undersigned ladies and gentlemen of the "Delia" company', at the Tyne Theatre, Newcastle upon Tyne, to Frank Rothsay, signed by sixteen individuals on presenting him with a token of appreciation of his management.

1p., foolscap 8vo. Stained, worn and creased, but a unique memento of a Newcastle institution and Grade I listed building, founded in 1867 as the Tyne Theatre and Opera House, and now bearing the euphonious name of the Mill Volvo Tyne Theatre. The document reads 'We the undersigned ladies and gentlemen of the "Delia!" company request your acceptance of the accompanying little present as a slight token of our appreciation of your kindness to us all during your management.' The sixteen signatories are, with a few doubtful readings: Fanny Wentworth, Adelaide Newton, Clare Harringdon, George Mudie, Brigata Bucaloni, Louis C. Batten, Lytton Grey, H. Wellesley Smith, W Morley Bird, Arthur Burgoyne, James Harris, Franklin Warne, A. H. Winters, W. Pennett, Charles E. Stuart and John Aldridge.
