Nothing could have been more delightful but unfortunately it is impossible for him to leave town on Saturday and his Sunday just now is engaged as the previous time - he is engaged nursing his voice for the First as the part he is playing just then he finds rather a trying one. He would like them to see the play and when they return to town hopes he will have the pleasure of making them welcome. With his regards to Lord Wolseley and herself. |

| Content Summary: |
She had hoped to see Stoker to thank him for box sent by Irving. She cannot understand universal harsh criticism of 'The Medicine Man'. Irving's great, subtle and magnetic acting makes the play worth seeing, and it is a remarkable drama despite its faults. She praises Ellen Terry's complete performance as Sylvia. |

| Content Summary: |
Has made slow progress with the Brandon Ellis (& his wife Miss Emily Scott) fund. Clement Scott thought he might have £15 from the Neilson Fund, if Irving approves, and they will then have £30, hoping for more from one or two if list extended. Thanks for Irving's interest. He saw 'The Bells' the previous night, and comments that Irving was never finer. He missed 'Waterloo' which he saw at the Garrick and was lucky to see 'The Bells'. |
