Printed formal invitation with Pigott's name (mis-spelled) inserted by Irving. Pigott's reply is Letter 5273. A similar invitation for E.Y. Lowne is at THM in the W.B. Morris Irving cuttings (Box 13), and one in Stoker's archive at SCL (RL2/8/7) with Mrs Henry Irving's name inserted by Irving, presumably as a joke. Percy Fitzgerald's invitation is in his Collection at the Garrick Club, Vol.2, p.239. Christopher Bradshaw's invitation is reproduced in 'We saw him act', 1939, p.169. |
