Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He regrets he guessed correctly that Stoker had countermanded his chosen scene from 'Faust'. Unless the illustrations reflect productions at the various theatres they have no point. He particularly objects to the 'Circus' meant to portray Drury Lane - it is more like an equestrian entertainment. If Stoker refuses to select an appropriate scene from any opera he asks for a blank page as he does not wish to be prevented from joining a project both illustrating their theatrical work and expressing his loyalty and devotion to the Queen. |

Written by a secretary and signed by Harris. Stoker was secretary to the project for compiling an Address in aa illuminated Jubilee Book for the Queen. |

The play when produced would bear little resemblance to De Bressier's for the story would be a different one - but he would be glad to use the name of De Bressier in conjunction with a certain action(?) in the play. |

| Notes: |
Difficult to read. This may refer to the play 'Mdlle de Bressier' by A. Delpit which Irving purchased and had translated and adapted by Herman Merivale. The letter may be a draft written to Merivale. |
