She is just starting but he understands the Ships Company will be at The Rialto the next day and would wish to give the cheer the Walruses wanted to give but did not know how to manage. She is so sorry to part from these rough folk with their tender hearts. Irving will be pleased to know her servants were charmed with 'Iron Chest'. |

'The Merchant of Venice' opened on 1st November. This presumably refers to the crew of the Walrus. |

| Content Summary: |
(Walter:) Sends what he forgot to leave the previous night. Would like to rewrite the other, a fresh start being better. Would Irving remember to send him 'The Count's Secret' with 1 or 2 playbills for 'The Merchant of Venice'. They wish they were going to meet him that night. (Emma:) Walter enjoyed himself the night before. She is glad Irving comes to them the next day week. Baked potatoes. Him alone. (Walter:) Last night he forgot to say he had been asked to give a Friday evening lecture at the Royal Institution the next season and had picked 'Shakespearean Criticism'. He wants to consult Irving. His chief asks for seats for the next Wednesday . |

Written jointly by Walter Pollock and his wife Emma. Note of a box sent 21/11/79, also 2 stalls for 26th. The first play mentioned is unidentified, and 'The Count's Secret ' is untraced. In 1880 Pollock refers to the manuscript of 'A Terrible Villain' in a letter to Stoker, and to another lost ms. |
