| Content Summary: |
Hardly worth saying, but when she wrote that she felt tired and overworked he at once arranged to play 'Waterloo'. If it had been impossible, or any difficulty about his proposal had been made by Tree, it would not have been to Tree's credit. Theirs had been a friendly arrangment depending on her. No mention was made to him about any six performances, nor did he excuse(?) her playing twice a day. Having agreed to do so, if she were not allowed to do so, if she were willing, does not fit with his sense of fairness or graciousness. He repeats he had settled everything, perhaps to everybody's satisfaction and if so all is well. |

My dear Burnand, I should enjoy a Sargent night hugely. I know him pretty well and am all enthusiast about him and victim once, drawn and quartered in the Academy. I am afraid just at present there would be no possibility of me squeezing in a night . Think it must come, it shall, it will! My love at home. Yours ever Henry Irving. |

Sargent painted Irving during the winter of 1889/90. The portrait was exhibited at the R.A. and then hidden by Irving in a cupboard in Grafton Street. Laurence Irving in his biography records that 'Punch' described the portrait as 'Hedly Irvil wi' such a bad cold id is head'. |
