Date: 1901, April, 8 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: She was surprised to find she and Irving had been neighbours for some time, but she has not been strong and away from home for so long... but life is not long enough to put off seeing old friends. She would very much like him to call. She has been thinking about 'Coriolanus'. One of their oldest friends Sir James Lacaita was always so anxious for Irving to do it, and illustrated by Alma Tadema it will be unique. She will not see it as she is afraid to enter a playhouse since she has been ill.

Notes: Irving had been living at 17 Stratton Street since 1899. 'Coriolanus' opened at the Lyceum on 15th April 1901.

Content Summary: She asks for seats on Monday. Her children, so long abroad that they do not know Irving's or anyone's repertoire, have become interested in Shakespeare and a daughter said that Irving should be splendid as Shylock which was just the part for him. Always his devoted admirer.

Content Summary: He is delighted to have the play and sends a cheque for £100 and the agreement to sign. He cannot assure immediate production as he is producing 'Coriolanus' the next week and has an American tour to follow. It may be some time before he can produce it. She may rest assured he will do it at the earliest opportunity possible, and hopes it will be a pleasure to them both.
Published: -
