Dodgson (Charles Lutwige) [Lewis Carroll]

Autograph letter signed ('C.L. Dodgson') to an unknown recipient, reading "I am neither the author, nor owner of copyright, of any plays. If you wish to dramatise any book for yourself, you have full right to do so. Also, if you wish to perform, in public, any play, you have full right to do so, so long as you do not charge for admission. [last clause underlined] But, if you mean to charge for admission, you will need permission from the holder of the play, & also a theatrical license for the building to which admission is charged. That I believe to be the state of the law, as regards dramatic performances", two pages, folding mark, small 8vo, Christ Church, Oxford, 31 December 1891.
