Content Summary: He has an opportunity to be his own master in his new work. He has the trust of the managing director but would like to make a small investment. Would Irving lend him £250? He could not promise repayment within a year but promises honourable repayment, offering 5%. The private affairs he has disclosed to Stoker are secret. He denies he hopes to earn money from his few shares in the 'Pic' if he gets them but there is no risk.

Author: Reeves, John Sims >>
Address: Grange Mount, Upper Norwood
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: 1882, Sept., 27 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: Writes with vivid recollection of their artistic evening in Scarborough and will always connect Irving's brilliant performance with everything that gives him happiness. They have decided it might interfere with the career they have marked out for their son if he were to be entirely on the stage and as he already has many engagements it would be awkward to break into the run of a piece. Irving has announced it much earlier than first intended. May he have a Box this week or early next as he wants to have a chat?
Published: -
Notes: Possibly referring to a concert on 18th August (see Letter 5532). Irving seems to have offered Herbert a part. He appeared in 'Much Ado About Nothing' at the Lyceum in 1894-95, but not in 1882.
