Almost certainly to William Beatty Kingston. See Letter 6079 of 1887/02/19. 'Admirable Crichton' was the title of a novel by W. Harrison Ainsworth published in 1837, and several earlier and later plays were based on his story. The letter refers to Kingston's book 'Monarchs I have met'. |

He thinks Stoker must be working hard after the Shakespearian wiseacres. Find out as soon as possible the amount cleared by the Birkbeck. Irving will pay for the tickets he had & for the band & programmes - he can't know if there is anything else. What do Messrs Nathan Beurman(?) matter. |

On 23rd February Irving read 'Hamlet' at the Birkbeck Hall to raise money for the Birkbeck Institute. The final reference might be to Nathan & Co., the costumiers or to the "wiseacres". |
