Many thanks but they have a friend coming to spend the 27th there. Irving should not be offended by Yates hinting that Irving should notice a letter of introduction sent by Mr W.A. Sewsen (?) of New York. He is a very influential man both in society and the best press there and an excellent fellow. His address in London is Westminster Palace Hotel! |

He wanted to see Irving that day but chose wrong time. What a charming print of Mrs Brown. He has not yet seen Long's praised portrait of Irving as Hamlet at the [Royal] Academy. He asks for a box or 2 stalls for Wednesday. The young ladies at the RAM [Royal Academy of Music] are enraptured with Irving's Sir Tristram [Tristan]. Wishes Irving prosperity. |

Addressed "My dear Henry Irving". The engraving was probably of Edwin Long's portrait of Hannah Brown who had died in 1878. |
