Author: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: 11 Salisbury Street, Stand
Recipient: Rose, James Anderson >>
Address: [11 Salisbury Street, Strand]
Date: 1874, June, 12 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: He will be away from London for the next 2 or 3 Sundays. Could he go over to see the books one weekday? He wants to know which to order as he cannot afford all. He thinks the 'Mobilier Français' will be what he wants and the earlier volumes. If Rose could bring them to his office they could look at them and Irving benefit from his opinion. He has reserved the stalls and will send Rose the vouchers.
Published: -
Notes: Irving obviously called at Rose's office in response to the reply to his Letter 9089, containing an invitation, and wrote a note on Rose's paper. The books were by Viollet le Duc and the catalogue of Irving's Library in 1905 lists 6 vols of the 'Mobilier', 1872-75, and also Rose's 1874 'Collection of Engraved Portraits'.

Author: Pollock, Juliet >>
Address: 59, Montagu Square, W
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: [1874?], [June?] Monday
Document Type: Letter (5 p.)
Content Summary: Did Irving forget or was he prevented from coming to read 'The Bridge of Sighs' that day? As it was not written perhaps he expected her. Never mind she will go to him Wednesday or Saturday. It is good of Irving to help. She is so glad to have seen his little boys and he must not worry about their behaviour; it is best if they know they are loved. It is good that they are boys as their lives will be shaped by him. Irving may trust them to her when he knows her better. She has asked Mr Griffiths to secure two stalls for 23rd - Tuesday week. She asks 'Hamlet' to write re date. Was it a mistake or a forgetting?

Notes: Later in 1874 Lady Pollock took part in a concert with her son, Walter and Henry Dickens, reciting 'The Bridge of Sighs'.

Address: 15A, Grafton Street, Bond Street, W.
Recipient: Rose, James Anderson >>
Address: -
Date: 1874, June, 19 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: He would like some stained glass like Rose's. If an artist were to call would Mrs Rose allow her maid to show the door glass as a guide for Irving's requirements? (Postscript:) Did Rose receive the Millard (?) letter?
Published: -
Notes: Irving probably called to see Rose's books (see Letters 9089-90) and was taken with the stained glass. "Millard" might possibly be "Willard" but the subject of the letter is unknown. 1874 is added in a different contemporary hand.

Content Summary: Is it really too bad? He has always felt affection for Marshall and only their opposite paths have kept them apart. He has only just heard of Marshall's accident and he is sorry. It is terrible. He saw on the supper night how unhappy Marshall was and was sorry. In great haste.
