Address: -
Date: 1884, July, 3 Thursday
Document Type: Letter (1 p.)
Content Summary: He cannot make Sunday 20th July, but is free after that - Irving has only to specify a Sunday. Mrs Sala has been to see 'Much Ado' again. Business prevented Sala but he will definitely go to the first night of 'Twelfth Night'. He hasn't seen Irving at the Reform Club yet. He is on the Committee and is there on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. He saw that Irving was at Montrose the last Sunday - an old haunt of Sala's. Wouldn't the lanterns in the hall do for the Lyceum?

Notes: Irving was elected a member of the Reform Club in 1884.

Address: -
Date: 1884, July, 9 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: The first character Ellen Tree played on her return from America in 1839 or 1838 was Viola. The elder Farren was Malvolio and Harley was possibly the Clown [Feste]. He has seen others since but never approaching last night's display with one exception. Viola was exquisite, a good Toby and Andrew but Irving's Malvolio ranks with the best he has done. Gives a further few comments on the production. Frith's opinion was reflected on all sides.
