Address: S-- St [Stratton Street]
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: 1881, April, 12 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: As B.C.B tells her Irving cannot [call] when he returns from the drive which she hopes he enjoyed, she sends this to greet his return and thank him for the beautiful 'Corsican Brothers' in the prettiest binding. She was sorry not to see it again but the night was chilly. She hopes for Easter Monday. On Irving's opening night they go to St Stephens for a little parish ceremony. She thanks him for the print and is glad to have her Hamlet safe home: the figure and Irving's spirit is caught, the face being unfinished... She cannot ask him to come when he is so busy, but she knows he will remember the Children's Hour when possible.

Notes: B.C.B. must be the Baroness's husband who took her name. She refers to Edwin Long's portrait of Irving as Hamlet. It had possibly gone for a print to be made. 'The Belle's Stratagem' opened at the Lyceum on 16th April and 'Othello' in May.

Author: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: Royal Lyceum Theatre, Strand
Recipient: Terriss, William >>
Address: -
Date: [1881?] Wednesday night
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: If Terriss will be able to play on Saturday Irving urges him for his own sake as much as theirs to come to rehearsal the next night at seven. He has had to change certain things in the play and after Terriss's letter to Loveday had to give his parts to Pinero & Tyars. He is sorry he is unwell, but thinks he fancies a little too much for a strong bodied and headed man. He strongly advises him to come to rehearsal. It is a serious matter to the play - Terriss's absence, and the risk of imperfect rehearsal - which they hardly understand there, is a serious matter to Irving.
Published: -
Notes: Terriss joined the Lyceum company in 1880. This may date from 13th April 1881 when on the following Saturday 16th, 'The Belle's Stratagem' replaced 'The Corsican Brothers' on the bill with 'The Cup'.
