The envelope is postmarked from Canterbury. Irving was reading Tennyson's 'Becket' for the Canterbury Cathedral Restoration Fund at 2 pm on 31st May. The newspaper press release preserved, predated 7th May, gives details of the event, of the murder of Thomas Becket in 1170, and general arrangements, including the sale of reserved seats at 1 guinea by letter from Mr Crow, Mercury Lane, Canterbury. |

| Content Summary: |
Stoker may have read Jules Claretie's article in 'Figaro' on his visit to London. He writes that Irving will play 'Becket' in the crypt of Canterbury Cathedral for some charity in about a month. Le Sage would like to publish a paragraph to confirm an interesting event or contradict French imagination. Such a performance would be most realistic. Please let him know. |

Cannot lend picture that Irving wants as it hangs in the Duchess' bedroom and to remove it would be unsightly. Once, at Lord Leighton's request it was exhibited at Burlington House, but otherwise he has had to decline - many regrets. |

The picture not identified. This is probably for the Victorian Era exhibition marking the Queen's Jubilee. |
