Notes: This seems to be a reply to Irving's response to Letter 2756. Londesborough was a keen member of the Four-in-Hand Club, see also Letter 2758. There is a note on the back of the letter, possibly in Louis Austin's hand, giving details of an advertisement for 'Much Ado': "Last night, 21st representation, Henry Irving & Ellen Terry, at 8.00".
