Content Summary: Miss E. Penrose, Principal of Bedford College, has asked him for the loan of a Greek chair from 14th-19th June for a student performance of the 15th Idyll of Theocritus. Not owning one, he remembered the one Posthumous uses in the banquet scene in 'Cymbeline' and asks for a loan to the College. A loan from Irving would render real service to the College and oblige Alma Tadema.

Content Summary: He sends the Introduction & Scenario of the first three acts previously sketched out to Irving, and asks him to read it on Sunday. The plan of the 4th & last act will be finished by the time Irving comes the next Wednesday night. They have changed Irving's intended character making him more devilish, with death inevitable at the end of short 4th act. They are thinking of a melodramatic end for Irving but making the other scenes and characters as realistic as possible. The combination of modern society with melodrama is just what Irving wants. Please bring the typewritten scenario on Wednesday night as it is the only copy in that form

Content Summary: To relieve Vanderfeldt's great anxiety as revealed in his telegraph appeal he wired him the previous night to wait till he could communicate again. He feels he must return Irving's kind contribution, promising him to write to him again should any [appeal?] arrive. He thanks Irving for his invitation but he is pleadged for a late night on Tuesday and he is not so young and vigorous as Irving to go out two nights running. He is very annoyed as regards Gillette as he has been compelled to refuse the invitation to meet him for the same reason.
