Bearded Capuchins not until 1528. Nuns sing offices in quire stalls not huddled on floor.

Content Summary: He appreciated Irving's telegram about his accident. He is riding again although his shoulder & ankle are weak. Sometime when they are both in America and not performing, he would like Irving to visit him for a month or two at his mountain home and breathe pure Arizona air. His home is quite near the Yellowstone National Park and he would drive Irving through the park. It would do him so much good. Don't forget him, and arrange to come as his guest.

Content Summary: ... or guilty. He feels there would be a grave risk in subjecting an invalid to the excitement of a first production, besides the ordeal of encountering so many familiar faces.

Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: With Burnand's help the righteous cause is won. He is a powerful adversary and it is a funny world. He heard of one editor who supported them keeping quiet for fear of offending the Liberal Party! Stoker sent all he could the previous night. Comyns is away. He will tell B.S[toker] to let Burnand have anything that comes in the next day.

Notes: The controversy is not yet identified, but might be the Parliamentary discussion about children working in the theatre. 'Dante' was being performed at Drury Lane. The date is written as '93' although Irving did not move to Stratton Street until 1899, and it is possible that this should be dated as 1901, dealing with the "good fight" referred to in Letter 1083. A typewritten transcript is in THM/37/1/33.
