John Ford autograph letter signed, dated 14 March 1860, from Baltimore, where he was managing the Holiday Street Theater. Here, Ford instructs John Wright, later stage manager at Ford's Theatre, to produce a new play by Tom Taylor, the playwright who also wrote ''Our American Cousin.'' Letter, measuring 4.5'' x 7'', has some mounting traces on verso and light browning from glue remnants along left margin. Paper is abraded through the first paragraph of letter, causing partial ink loss and a few small holes. Overall, very good condition.
