| Content Summary: |
Reeves is giving a Morning concert at St. James's Hall on 20th February 1883. Would Irving do him the favour to recite two pieces then? If he dared he would ask Miss Terry but as she is playing every night it might be too much for her. Congratulates Irving warmly on his continued brilliant success. Hopes he can come just before Christmas when the year's tour ends. Can he offer his services in return for Irving's farewell performance before departure to the States? When does Irving return? He is thinking of his farewell in London. |
