Evidence of the bonds that existed between, as well as within, acting companies of the day is, likewise, afforded by the letters that players exchanged with each other and fellow members of the theatre world. 43 Henslowe’s papers contain further evidence of the web of connections linking those in the theatre world, including numerous personal letters from actors and playwrights, at least some of which point to close friendships.
