Author: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: 15A Grafton Street, Bond Street, W
Recipient: Wingfield, Lewis Strange >>
Address: [London]
Date: 1888, May, 4 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: Instead of 'Eugene Aram' he had better recite 'Gemini & Virgo' if Wingfield prefers it. It is shorter & sweeter. It is by C.S. Calverley as he probably knows. He encloses £20 as he promised & is pleased that everything has gone.
Published: -
Notes: The occasion was connected with Mrs Keeley (see Letter 5430 on 3rd May) but Irving had recited Calverley's poem in the Huntington Hall in Boston on 15th February. Thomas Hood's 'The Dream of Eugene Aram' was probably Irving's favourite recitation.

Address: Lyceum Theatre
Recipient: Lewis & Lewis >>
Address: [London]
Date: 1888, June (i.e.May), 12 
Document Type: Letter (1 p.)
Content Summary: Mr Irving asks him to say that when he bought [The Amber Heart] to present to Miss Terry, he thought he also purchased the music which was handed over with it. If Hamilton Clarke has not been paid properly Irving wants this corrected and asks how much Mr Clarke requires? Irving does not remember Clarke's original letter.
Published: -
Notes: A copy. The clerk has been misled by the date of the June 1887 letter he was also copying. Irving is quite often accused of not answering letters but that referred to was kept by Ellen Terry. See Letters 8928-34.

Address: 37 Sydney St, S.W.
Recipient: Stoker, Bram (Abraham) >>
Address: [Lyceum Theatre]
Date: [1888], [May], [17?] 
Document Type: Letter (1 p.)
Content Summary: There can be no doubt about the terms of the agreement he sent Irving when he gave him the music the previous summer. Stoker can infer this from his reply to this claim. He hopes it has not been mislaid.
Published: -
Notes: This refers to Calmour's play 'The Amber Heart' but it is not certain whether it refers to Hamilton Clarke's claim for higher payment for the music (see Letters 8928-34) or to Calmour's desire to publish the play, which Irving purchased for Ellen Terry. See Letters 8937-44.
