Content Summary: In Coronation year the Royal Institution is anxious to have specially brilliant and memorable lectures.

Recipient: Burnand, Sir Francis Cowley >>
Address: -
Date: [1902], April, 7 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: He was glad to get Burnand's letter and find all well. Now they are both back they will soon meet. Will Burnand dine the next Sunday 13th at the Reform [Club] at 7.45 - a few congenial spirits and no water? He is delighted about 'Partners' and after 'Faust' they will discuss it. He is busy and soon will be very busy, but has been kept at home by "a little chill".
Published: -
Notes: Irving had returned from his 7th American tour and opened his season at the Lyceum with 'Faust' on April 26th. 'Partners' is a play by Robert Buchanan performed in 1888, but this may refer to a new work by Burnand who had nothing new performed after 1899.
