Recipient: James, Eleanor Mary >>

Date: 1892, Jan., 28 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: How kind of her friend to offer him more books. He would be glad to receive them. They are unknown to him and would be most interesting. Asks if she heard Egerton Castle's lecture on the sword at the Lyceum. If not, if it is repeated perhaps Mrs James and her friend might come. He hopes she is well 'during this time of plague and sickness'. Everybody is affected almost unconsciously or otherwise. They have 4 or 5 changes every night through absentees. Irving struggles through and exists miserably saving himself for his work at night. He caught cold during rehearsals and has only just begun to shake it off. He says the Lyceum is like Lapland owing to delays, procrastination & red-tapism (sic) of the L.C.C. but is improving as he is having hot water pipes and radiators laid on everywhere. She must come and judge for herself; hopes she will not find it too warm. Pleased she likes their 'Famous History' which is an unprecedented success. Asks which night she is coming. Hopes to call soon to have a good talk. Affectionately yours, H.Irving.
