Author: Marra, Francesco A. >>
Address: 35, Sackville St, Piccadilly
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: 1883, July, 25 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: Irving's secretary, he supposes, wrote asking him to call on Irving on Thursday at 2 pm. He called when he first arrived in London and sees no need to visit him again, as he was insulted or neglected at least. He wrote twice and once to the Secretary to which he has received no reply. Kindly return his friend Salvini's letter and thus confer a favour.
Published: -
Notes: See the Letter of introduction from Salvini, dated 1/5/1883, Letter 3694. An English translation of a letter from Salvini to Marra, dated 23/6/1883 is still preserved in THM/37/7/38. He refers to his friend seeking a good position in London and is glad Irving has received him courteously. Salvini is not at present coming to London but wants to take an Italian company to Spain, and perhaps to America in the winter of 1884. He asks to be remembered to Irving. There seems to have been a grave failure of communication.
