Let him know the date and place of their dinner as he is about to move to 23 Weymouth Street, Portland Place, but not before Saturday. He hopes to see Irving before then and asks for a quiet corner to see him in his cups ['The Cup'] so he can leave unseen after the first play. Let him know when he is wanted for rehearsal. His wife hovers between life and death, but her mind is gone and he is loathe to leave her. He sends the letter in case he is prevented from calling the next day. |
