Transcript
The Hythe Croft, Eynsham, Oxon.
11. Feb. 1930
Dear Greg,
The life of Alleyn (by Oldys) in Biographia Britannica (1744-66) i. 115 mentions a picture at Dulwich, long thought to be his father, but stated to Oldys to be his father-in-law by one Thomas Waterhouse. The picture gave the age as 59.
Did you ever look into this? If father-in-law is right, I should think that it was more likely Henslowe than Woodward.
Yrs ever
E. K. Chambers.
