Address: -
Date: 1880, Feb., 17 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: He had hoped that Irving's delay in answering his request on Ruskin's behalf was because he had written to him direct. Ruskin is in poor health and Laister would have preferred a simple yes or no. Ruskin merely wanted his whole letter printed. He did not dispute the 'Theatre' paragraph but felt Irving must be responsible for it in one way or another. He feels the letter should be published in a forthcoming number of the magazine.
Published: L. Irving, p.349 (in part).
Notes: Laister then wrote to Clement Scott the editor of 'Theatre' and this correspondence is preserved in the same file. Scott later printed a revised version of Ruskin's letter.

Date: [1880], [Feb.?] Wednesday

Content Summary: Would Sunday do to have a go at Vanderdecken? He would like to exhibit it that year if Irving has no objection. He could manage another day if necessary but they are trying to move to "the new den" soon. The supper was a splendid success. He liked the way Irving shut up the old impostor.

Author: Burnand, Sir Francis Cowley >>
Address: 64, Russell Square, W.C.
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: 1880, Feb., 28 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: The idea Irving grasped would be better published in 'Theatre' as a Shakespearian mystery. 'Coriolanus' in three years, and probably 'The Isle of St Tropez'. He will get the French original used by him and Montagu Williams when they were young, revise it and make a first rate play. There is a wonderful role for Ellen Terry with becoming costumes.
Published: -
Notes: Burnand's idea is probably not still his article on the third murderer mentioned in Letter 8689. 'Coriolanus' was announced in 1880 but not performed until 1901; Irving encouraged the rewriting of Burnand and Williams' play first performed in 1860, but never performed it. There are many references to it in his letters.
