| Content Summary: |
Although the Marston Benefit takes place at the Lyceum Irving has withdrawn his name from the performance for reasons he will explain when they meet. There is a lady in the case, Miss H. Hodson. Irving believes that the reasons that induced him to withhold his name will guide Sims Reeves, too. He has not alluded to his offer to sing for Henry Marston - who he regrets is the sufferer to some extent. However, Irving has sent him £10 and at any rate he has given him the theatre so he has done all he can. If Sims Reeves still wants to sing it is not too late for no bills are out as yet. Sims Reeves had better write to Marston's niece - Miss H. Hodson Pope's Villa, Twickenham. Not to mention Irving's name. Hopes to have a Sunday with him soon. |

Marked 'Private' in top left hand corner. See Letter 3436 for Sims Reeves' reply.
Irving first met Henrietta Hodson, aged 19, in 1860 in Greenock where they acted together. Marston's benefit was on 29th May. |

| Content Summary: |
Irving's reason for withdrawing must be a just one. Therefore he will follow his example and he will subscribe £10 and send Irving the cheque. He wondered why Mr Everett made the application. It appears to be a 'Truth'ful two'[?] Will Irving come when he can; the sooner the better. All there will rejoice to see him. P.S. When is Irving's benefit? Let him know in good time. |

| Notes: |
'Truth' was a magazine - probably satirical. This refers to Henry Marston's benefit held at the Lyceum on 29th May. See Letter 6845. |
