German East Africa - Tanga.

The surviving correspondence contains many letters from actors, actresses and theatre managers, about current productions for the London stage, and for tours in the provinces. A few letters mention the production of Roses plays in the USA. There are letters from hopeful authors offering their novels for dramatization, from people agreeing or declining to lecture to the Playgoers Club, and from friends wanting theatre tickets. Two owners of stately homes (Lord Barnard and Lord Donington) wrote in connection with Roses articles in the Illustrated London News. Roses Fabian interests are shown by letters from Sidney Webb about the scholarships he was endowing. An unexpected correspondent was the African traveller Mary Kingsley, who was evidently a friend of Mrs Rose. The papers also contain a folder of miscellaneous biographical and theatre items.
