Senator Depew was an admirer of Irving; they had first met in 1883. The letter is difficult to read. |

Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He thanks Irving for his prompt reply about the subject of his Rede Lecture and his offer to let him see the lecture beforehand. The subject is sufficient and a brief reference to it must suffice or it will be too prominent in a speech where other important items must be omitted. He never shows the recipients of honorary degrees the terms he proposes to use in their honour, but Irving's kindness and the fact that a somewhat observant audience will take in the expression of a great actor in understanding words chosen in his praise induce him to enclose a rough copy of his proposed speech. Irving is placed in order after Mr Bryce. He describes the procedure of awarding the degree. |

| Notes: |
A tactful gesture as he probably realised Irving had no Latin. With a cutting of Sandys' address as Public Orator presenting Irving for his honorary Doctorate of Letters on 15th June, and a translation "paraphrase" for the newspapers. |
