Abbey seems to have borrowed 'Faust' costumes in 1889, but this is a later address. This and an earlier letter refer to William M. Laffan. |

Great praise for 'Madame Sans-Gêne' which he saw the previous week. His wife couldn't come as Bourchier detained her at the Strand until 7 o'clock and she hadn't time to dress. Irving did not look more than 3" taller than Grossmith and Ellen Terry was sweet and fascinating. |

| Content Summary: |
If she will send the boots to the Lyceum with the other things (belt, hat etc) he will have them seen to and made smooth - the wigmaker Fox, 25 Russell St, Covent Garden - The cuirass was frequently worn under the waistcoat and underneath the coat and the sash also worn underneath coat and over the cuirass - and he almost thinks it looks more elegant that way. Should Lord Wolseley decide to come he would hardly need White's help though White would be excellent for any help they might require. Irving will be delighted to come on the 27th as she kindly suggests, and as the morning will be free if it would be convenient, to put the things on before luncheon. |
