Content Summary: He has asked Mr Parkinson, Mr Loveday & Mr F. Tickhall(?) to arrive on Sunday at 7. He presumes Stoker is arranging a special train to bring Irving and his friends in the afternoon as there is no regular train arriving before 8 pm. A train leaves Liverpool (North Western) 11.30 am Sunday morning reaching Rugby (Rugeley?) at 2.15 pm. If they are given a special train from Rugby to Leamington they will drive from Leamington or they might give a special train from Blisworth to Stratford. Flower would prefer the drive from Leamington. Let him know what is arranged and who are engaged at the Red Horse. (Postscript:) Private. He has not asked Mr Clement Scott as it would not be a pleasure for either of them. He will try to arrange elsewhere for him & Mr Bancroft.
