O'Hara, John D., Defiance, Ohio, to James F. Edwards, Notre Dame, Indiana, 1881 September 29

It has been a long time since he left school. He has never ceased to think of Edwards. He has travelled extensively in his professional duties but never had leisure to visit Notre Dame. At present he is with Felix A. Vincents New York Park Theatre Co. He tells of his experiences on the stage. After he closed with Mr. Jos. Murphy, he accepted an engagement with Edwin Booth at McVicker's theater in Chicago. In Deadwood, Dakota, after the town had been burned, he built a theatre and put on "Pinafore" with success. At Helena, Montana he met with failure. He tells of some of the Notre Dame men he met. :: XI-1-b A.L.S. 9pp. 8vo.
