Content Summary: The presents have been delivered safely although he has not seen Vernon. He lists the presents, including an eye glass and chain worn by Digby Grant. Mr Halot (?), William & Samuel Brodribb have called from the Cape, home on leave. He asks what relation they are. Will his father loan him £50 for which he will pay a good rate of interest? He needs it for expenses connected with the new house for which they need carpets and curtains. He hopes his father was pleased with his last letter about the engagement.

Date: [1871], (May) 
Document Type: Letter
Content Summary: He has shaken off fatigue - the air is bracing. He is sorry she didn't visit [Frank] Marshall on Sunday - a man of refined sensibility who will be hurt. He asks for her mother's number as he will send her papers. Success is as great as in Bristol. He gives his favourable impressions of Dublin. He has a fine room overlooking Sackville St with a splendid bath he enjoys when he rises at 9.30. Breakfast 10.30, dinner 4 pm. Last night they were guests at the Dublin Literary Club and a lot of punch was drunk. He wears his thick coat as it is cold for May. He will want 6 of the photographs she is getting of Harry. Could she also look at 10 Campden Hill Road from the outside. Sorry for all the extras she has to do. A sea crossing with the baby would be impossible. He asks her to send 'The Sunday Times'. Sends love.

Date: 1871, May, 29 Saturday
Document Type: Letter
Content Summary: He has just received his father's letter. He will be grateful for the £30 which will be very useful. His father has 5% for it, so Irving will give 10% with any later readjustment. He has nothing to do with Miss Bateman and hears that for the first year at least she will not be at the Lyceum. Were he to act with her in future it could not be in August because his engagement with Bateman does not begin until September.

Content Summary: The next day is their wedding anniversary. He hopes as years increase happiness and love may too. He doesn't know where she is - Manchester or London. If she writes on Saturday address it to Theatre Royal, Glasgow. He is now going to breakfast at 10. He will not send money order until he hears from her. They must be very careful - he details outstanding problems. His heart is bursting to show how truly it is hers.
