He apologises that he cannot meet that night as he has a severe cough which he acquired the day before and aggravated by lack of care. St(?) John will have a good time and remember absent friends. He is invited to 'Romeo and Juliet' again when he has a spare night. Its success has surpassed even Irving's expectations. |

Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
A formal request for Irving to appear at a benefit for James Mortimer. There is a detailed account of how recent benefits have been unsuccessful including the failure of that for the General Theatrical Fund. It would be better to have one act of a well-known play. Would Irving consider doing something he had not been associated with in London - as Alfred Evelyn in 'Money' with Ellen Terry as Clara Douglas? The supporting cast would be exemplary. |

| Notes: |
Signed by Bancroft, J.L. Toole, Charles Wyndham and Charles Dickens junior. Irving had played Captain Dudley Smooth in Bulwer Lytton's 'Money' in Edinburgh and Manchester but this later request seems to have come to nothing. James Mortimer was a dramatist who had written a play for Wyndham in 1881, but as also the journalist corresponding with Irving in 1876, there was an unidentified dispute between them. |
