Date: 1878, April, 4 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: He has read Irving's excellent pamphlet and asks him to accept the accompanying volume 'Current Con', which on p.297-308 has allusions to the stage with which he thinks Irving will agree. On Sunday 28th April he is preaching at his church, St James, Westmoreland St, St Marylebone, on the stage and Shakespeare, with special reference to the Stratford-upon-Avon Memorial. Has Irving any book or pamphlet he could borrow on Shakespeare or stage history? He would be glad to call for a short talk.
Published: -
Notes: Irving's pamphlet is probably 'The Stage', his address at the Perry Barr Institute, Birmingham.
