ANS: "Hall Caine" at lower margin of telegram, 1p, 8½x5½, affixed to slightly larger sheet (two surfaces). London, 1904 October 27. In full: "I pray God that our righteous demand for Justice may never be allowed to degenerate into Revenge". On "Post Office Telegraphs" form.

You as leader of National thought send message to Nation at this grave crisis Editor Daily Mirror London". Newspaper clippings on verso (dated August 29, 1905) relate to Caine's new play, Prodigal Son. The clippings are from the "New York Press" and the "Philadelphia Public Ledger". The Prodigal Son, a play based on Caine's 1904 novel, was first performed on November 4, 1904. A revised version of the play was published in 1905. English novelist Sir Thomas Henry Hall Caine (1853-1931) was one of Great Britain's most read authors between 1893-1930. Caine, who had begun his literary career by writing articles for trade journals, magazines and newspapers, was further inspired when he became Secretary to and friend of poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti, whom he remembered in his 1882 work, Recollections of Rossetti. Caine published his first novel, The Shadow of a Crime, in 1885, and this was quickly followed by A Son of Hagar (1886) and The Deemster (1887). Caine's other works, many of which featured Biblical themes, include The Bondman and The Scapegoat (both 1890), Cap'n Davey's Honeymoon (1893), The Manxman (1894, his first big commercial success), The Christian (1897, which sold 650,000 copies), The Eternal City (1901, over a million copies sold worldwide) and The Prodigal Son (1904, novel and play). Caine, who edited King Albert's Book during WWI (the proceeds went to help Belgian refugees), published his last full-length novel in 1921 to devote himself to his life's work, a Life of Christ, which he had researched during several visits to Palestine and Transjordania. The book was published posthumously by his sons in 1938, twenty years after Caine had been knighted on the recommendation of Prime Minister Lloyd George. Lightly creased with folds. Tape strips on telegram touch six words of Caine's writing. Pencil notes (unknown hand) at lower left margin. Slightly soiled and front and verso. Chipped at left edge. Overall, fine condition.
