| Content Summary: |
On the night of Mackenzie's banquet Irving expressed a wish for some /34 Port. Westbury visited his wine merchants (Messrs Bettack & Son) and heard the day before that they will put a few dozen at Irving's disposal, so has asked them to communicate with him directly. If Irving regrets his resolution he need not have the wine. He was glad to meet Irving the previous Sunday and hopes on his next visit to Brighton he will visit Westbury at 34 Brunswick Terrace, where he can present him to his wife. |

Stoker sent Box 6 for Thursday 27/2/80. Merivale probably missed the supper on 14th February as Letter 5235 is dated 12th February. |

| Content Summary: |
The idea Irving grasped would be better published in 'Theatre' as a Shakespearian mystery. 'Coriolanus' in three years, and probably 'The Isle of St Tropez'. He will get the French original used by him and Montagu Williams when they were young, revise it and make a first rate play. There is a wonderful role for Ellen Terry with becoming costumes. |

| Notes: |
Burnand's idea is probably not still his article on the third murderer mentioned in Letter 8689. 'Coriolanus' was announced in 1880 but not performed until 1901; Irving encouraged the rewriting of Burnand and Williams' play first performed in 1860, but never performed it. There are many references to it in his letters. |
