The second trip coincided with the then newly reopened Globe Theatre Shakespeare Memorial at Stratford upon Avon.

William Winter ( 1836-1917) attended Harvard Law. He wrote for many periodicals of the day and was a supporter of the literary careers of Walt Whitman and Mark Twain, among others. In addition to being a poet, he had friends in the world of the stage, writing biographies of a number of contemporary actors.
