| Content Summary: |
The papers are reserved of course. He is not "on" till a ¼ to 9 as he is not in Act 1. (Postscript:) They will meet in a day or two - Escott is quite right about the next day which will not be as usual. He is glad Escott approves of Russell's article which will be of the greatest service to him. |

| Notes: |
This probably refers to the comparative failure of 'Twelfth Night' which was booed on the first night, 8th July. Edward Russell's article 'Irving's work' was published in 'The Fortnightly' in September 1884. The postscript is written round the margins of the page. |

A pencil note on the back of a handbill advertising Fifth Avenue Cigar Stores, 353 Strand, which is dated in blue pencil 18/7/84 H.I., and presumably left when Lytton failed to speak to Irving. 'Twelfth Night' opened on 8th July 1884.
