Address: -
Date: 1878, March, 23 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: He does not know whether Irving sent a copy of his recent address, but must thank him for the eloquent and weighty production. They are sorry Irving could not fulfil his late engagement but can imagine the calls upon him. They enjoyed his acting in 'The Lyons Mail' but also he wishes to discuss the general position of Irving's profession and the select Drama on which Irving's heart is set. Irving's personal place at the head of the profession, combined with his feelings and ability to express them, seem to make the present epoch favourable to the achievement of his aims. He hopes they can soon meet again.
