He is ashamed at the size of his party which may be 5 or 6 through an error, and dreadful if Irving really means them to join his supper. The guests will be Mr & Mrs Horner and Mr & Mrs Robert Benson and perhaps Mrs Gaskell. They will all be very pleased to come. |

Arrangements for the signatures of Col. Urquhart & Mr Irving and four documents handed to them at Stationers' Hall which require careful filling up by M. Delpit & signing. M. Delpit may postpone his signing until he receives his balance of 3000fr. They should be sent over at once so the registration can take place within three months of the first performance in Paris. |

She refers to her conversation with him at the Luncheon at the Mansion House about George Sand's 'Les Beaux Messieurs de Bois-Doré'. She has sent him the book from Paris the week before and now encloses a picture of the principal scene from the illustrated papers. She is sure he will find the play worthy of him and the Lyceum. |

Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Since he has not heard he supposes the projected luncheon was difficult to arrange. Since he saw Knight he has been so ill that friends have persuaded him to leave town. As he may not see Irving he is uneasy about the advance of £100 which has not been repaid. Irving had told Knight to defer this. Does Knight think Irving would mind if he paid it into Irving's account at Coutts or would Irving prefer to receive it from Knight? Marston could bring it to his home early one evening. He has written to dear Toole saying Knight said he had refused repayment of his £100, to be regarded as contribution to the Fund. He thinks this is what Knight advised but he is getting so deaf that he misses much of what is said to him. He asks for a line as to Irving... |

Knight presumably passed the letter to Irving who had organized Marston's benefit performance of 'Werner' on June 1st. |

| Content Summary: |
Thanks Irving for pleasure given last night. Did not think when he was going to the Queen's garden that he would be translated to the garden in Belmont, the most beautiful imaginable. Its graceful mistress (Ellen Terry?) made it more beautiful than ever. Intellectual perfection was a refreshment of body and mind for an old lawyer. Thanks from Lady Esher for Irving's kind thought and act. |

'The Merchant of Venice' was performed at the Lyceum on 6th July. The reference to the Queen's garden might refer to the Jubilee Garden Party. |
