| Content Summary: |
He wishes to see Irving urgently with reference to 3 unpublished, unacted plays of his father's, one mentioned when they met at Lady Burdett Coutts. He wonders if an arrangement can be made for Irving's performance. His father was a mature dramatist and with care his plays could be more successful than Tennyson's. He is reluctant to put them in inferior hands but would be happy to let Irving see them confidentially. If he is interested he could have them on any terms he pleased. He would like to discuss this with Irving. |

| Notes: |
Lytton seems to have forgotten that Irving had the plays in 1875, see Letters 2168-69.

Would Irving give him a few sittings for his portrait? Many have painted Irving - but he very much wants to try. He suggests the time required at any time of day. Is there any chance of booking a seat for the first night of 'Romeo & Juliet'? He wishes Irving every possible success. |

He is certainly coming on Sunday - the Garrick 8pm. Since he and his wife saw Irving in 'Two Roses' he jokes how difficult it has been to find time for a dinner engagement. The Garrick & Irving names do not go badly together on Sunday 12th February. |

Letter (26 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He sends Irving 'Brutus; or The Household Gods' and 'Oedipus', both unique copies; 'The Captives' will follow by post. He discusses the characterisation and costuming of the Brutus play at length - 3 acts rather than 5 but requiring scene changes, &c., and the casting of Sextus. Then he suggests staging for the Oedipus play (an ms. which Irving has agreed to have typeset - can Lytton correct the proofs). He offers them to Irving as the greatest living actor, thanking him for the offer of terms, as he attaches value to his father's work. |

| Notes: |
He refers to a conversation held in Dover Street, and says that for the next 5 days he will be at Battle Abbey.
