Address: -
Date: 1873, April, 21 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: He regrets and was astonished at the result of Irving's candidature at the Garrick Club the previous Saturday. As Trustee and Chairman his name should have weight and he hopes Irving will allow him to propose him again as soon as the rules permit. He does not think Frith will be offended and Walter Arnold, nearly the oldest member, will be pleased to second him. As a man of nearly 60 who has seen much of Clubs he can say rejection only means somebody dislikes a candidate. He will be really sorry (and thinks he will be ill advised) if Irving refuses his offer.
Published: L. Irving, p.232
Notes: Irving was blackballed on 19th April. He had been proposed by Frith and seconded by Toole. The book was signed by Bancroft, Hall, Hollingshead and Arnold. A.W. Arnold was present, but Trollope and Millais were absent. In November Irving was elected, proposed by Taylor and seconded by Arnold.

Date: 1873, June, 13 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: Irving is welcome to the dress which he will find is later period than he wants but he will have authorities to refer to. All Pettie has is two little etchings and a lithograph which may suggest some detail. Pettie has thought of a subject for the next R.A. exhibition with the principal figure a Prince of the Church but not a known historical character. The dress will be left out for Irving's messenger. Pettie saw his play again the other night 'awfully good'.
Published:
Notes: Play seen probably 'Eugene Aram'. Irving was preparing for 'Richelieu'.
