Address: [London]
Date: [1881?], [July?], [19?] 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: He thought 'Eugene [Aram]' went well until the death when the illusion was lost, with too short a time to believe in his death. Wills suggests Aram might resort to poison when alone and his crime discovered, and show the effects. Miss Terry's part in the last scene lacks colour and he suggests improvements to the action. If Irving agreed, write to him, or Stoker could do so.
Published: -
Notes: Ticked. This probably relates to the revival of Wills's play 'Eugene Aram' on 18th, 19th & 22nd July 1881; it was also revived on 19-21 July 1883.

Author: Albery, James >>
Address: Fairlawn, Near Greenhithe
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: [London]
Date: 1881, July, 22 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: The next night he is going to the Criterion but he would like to hear the cheer greeting Irving, so as they have a spare hour they will call at the Lyceum and perhaps Stoker will fit them in. He discusses in detail terms for 'Two Roses'. At the 'V' he was paid £3 per night but he suggests Irving should take all rights (amateurs pay £5) for as long as he likes. Mrs A. will send a copy the next day, but it may be improved. Could he see Irving for half an hour?
Published: -
Notes: 'Two Roses' was first performed at the Vaudeville Theatre in 1870. 23rd July 1881 was Irving's benefit and the last night of the season.

Date: 1881, July, 24 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: He encloses the notice of the banquet from The Sunday Times, and is sorry he cannot cut the paragraph from The Pall Mall Gazette. He is sorry he could not get back for Irving's previous night's gathering as he has written in the Globe on Irving's rapport as an actor with the public. He compares Irving's power with great painters, and with Garrick, and is proud to be his friend.

Address: [London]
Date: 1881, July, 24 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: Do not lose his copy of 'The Hunchback' which might be left at his lodgings 33 Maddox St W. He would have liked to have seen the Helen & Modus scene which he heard went well, but was ill. He was pleased to meet Bram and Mrs Stoker who was the Belle of the garden party at Holly Lodge. Good wishes to the manager for success with his new lease.
Published: -
Notes: Stoker confirmed they had the play 4/8/81. Irving and Ellen Terry performed a scene from 'The Hunchback' for Irving's benefit on 23rd July, the last night of the season. Holly Lodge was one home of Baroness Burdett-Coutts with whom Lacy, Irving and the Stokers were variously connected.
