The note 13.11.96 indicates a refusal, and a draft of the reply is Letter 6871. Playfair's wife, Lena Ashwell, was playing Edward, Prince of Wales in 'Richard III'. She opened with her husband in 'Delicate Ground' at Terry's Theatre from 11th January 1897 whilst the Lyceum was closed. |

He would be pleased to do what he could but is sorry it is not possible in this case. He does not want to stand in the way of Mr & Mrs Playfair so that if he and she desire it he will be happy to release her from her engagement (crossed out) but if they should have the prospect of a more important engagement for Mrs Playfair he would he the last to stand in their way. |

Draft in Stoker's hand with much alteration and final revised paragraph by Irving in answer to Letter 5274. Mrs Playfair was Lena Ashwell who had been engaged to play the young Edward V in 'Richard III' which opened on 19th December. |
