Yes. He will send the places to Saville. The next day he reads 'Macbeth' in Birmingham. |

| Notes: |
Irving read 'Macbeth' in aid of the Perry Barr Institute in Birmingham on Ash Wednesday, 14th February, 1877, and Irving with Ellen Terry read 'Macbeth' in Birmingham on 11th June 1890. Saville may be a member of the theatrical family, or is perhaps a mistake for the Savile Club. |

[1877?] Friday |

Letter (1 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Will Irving lunch with him that day? Lord Stanhope and the Arthur Russells hope he will and an added inducement is Miss Rhoda Broughton who is rather good fun. Locker's main reason is that he wishes to see Irving under his roof. Tennyson is coming up the next week. |

| Notes: |
Seemingly hand delivered. Probably guests are Lord Arthur Russell and his wife; Rhoda Broughton was a popular novelist. A letter from Rhoda Broghton exists accepting a lunch invitation for Friday 10th February but this must date from 1882, probably too late for this engagement. |

Letter (3 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Often wished to suggest a remarkable play - charming and poetical - no other than old friend, the Flying Dutchman. Not the hero of Fitzball's vulgar drama but Wagner's beautiful operatic story. Hesitated to suggest because he knows Irving must be overwhelmed with suggestions. Has mentioned the subject to [W.G.] Wills but he hasn't had time yet. May he send original French piece which has spectacle, mystery, poetry, tenderness and love? |

| Notes: |
Fitzgerald's 'Vanderdecken', written jointly with W.G. Wills, opened at Lyceum on 8th June, 1878 under Mrs Bateman's management. |
