| Content Summary: |
He is glad to hear from Stoker. He expects to see Irving in Manchester the next month. Why doesn't Stoker come down there to stay whenever he likes. He will need to make a few alterations to the ms. where no changes have been made already. He refers obscurely to Darwin's(?) fairies in petticoats - political economists' children. He thinks the chief [Irving ] must have had a strong time in Dublin the previous week. |

Signed with initials, on mourning paper and difficult to read. This may refer to his play 'Robert Emmett'; or possibly might date from 1878. |

| Content Summary: |
She received enclosed letter from a friend that morning. Stoker among her acquaintance best knows Irving and she asks Stoker to mention the matter to him. Mr Bell is a gentleman, the son of Canon Bell of Cheltenham, an old friend. If Stoker could help she would be obliged. She hears the Opera at the Lyceum is a great success but does not know where Stoker is and has asked for letter to be forwarded. |

| Notes: |
The enclosure is not present but is likely to say that Bell has acting ambitions as he is probably the "young Bell" of Letter 2479. There was a season of Italian opera at the Lyceum in October during part of the Company provincial tour from September-December. |
