| Content Summary: | Mr Irving asks him to say that when he bought [The Amber Heart] to present to Miss Terry, he thought he also purchased the music which was handed over with it. If Hamilton Clarke has not been paid properly Irving wants this corrected and asks how much Mr Clarke requires? Irving does not remember Clarke's original letter. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | A copy. The clerk has been misled by the date of the June 1887 letter he was also copying. Irving is quite often accused of not answering letters but that referred to was kept by Ellen Terry. See Letters 8928-34. | ||

| Content Summary: | Is there a better seat on reserve list for 23rd for his wife than those given Weedon the day before? She is anxious to see his debut and the two great plays. He asks as an old friend of Irving and an even older one of Ellen Terry's. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | Stoker's note suggests a seat was found 17/5/88. Grossmith's brother Weedon was making his Lyceum debut as Jacques Strop in the revival of 'Robert Macaire' being performed with 'The Amber Heart' from 23rd May. | ||

| Content Summary: | There can be no doubt about the terms of the agreement he sent Irving when he gave him the music the previous summer. Stoker can infer this from his reply to this claim. He hopes it has not been mislaid. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | This refers to Calmour's play 'The Amber Heart' but it is not certain whether it refers to Hamilton Clarke's claim for higher payment for the music (see Letters 8928-34) or to Calmour's desire to publish the play, which Irving purchased for Ellen Terry. See Letters 8937-44. | ||

| Document Type: | Letter (1 p.) | ||
| Content Summary: | On 'The Amber Heart'. He thinks the letter he wrote to Irving the previous year and recently forwarded indicates an appeal to Irving's generosity to compensate him for the trick played by Mr Calmour. Irving had replied that day with his customary kindness. He has no legal claim on Irving. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | A copy. Clarke claimed he had not been properly paid for his music for the play by Alfred Calmour who had misrepresented the circumstances. See Letters 8928-34. | ||
