| Description | Letter from Joseph Chamberlain to Mr. Merivale, most likely John Herman Merivale (1851-1916), Professor of Mining at the College of Physical Science, Newcastle-upon- Tyne. Chamberlain says that he is "only here in passing & for the Sunday & I have to keep appointments in London tomorrow. Otherwise I should have been delighted to attend the performance...both because you request it & also because I know of no greater intellectual treat than a good dramatic performance.."
