Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Would Irving read a play based on a novel he's not yet published and advise where it might be staged? The Carnival scene should be effective; the part of the Governess with magnetic power difficult to fill. He could come to London if Irving could spare half an hour. |

This might be the play 'Two Brothers' referred to in Letter 66. |

| Content Summary: |
Goodwin says Irving is enquiring for "Alarums" for trumpets, etc. How does he want them - in full orchestra or a single trumpet behind the scenes. The former does not seem appropriate and he suggests a trumpet and drum as correct. He discusses the places required in the text by page reference with suggestions. Will Irving confirm or send any other suggestions. |

Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Their friend [Joseph] Knight has enclosed a letter which shows Irving is still pursuing his welfare. The Queen through his kind friends had offered him a nomination to the Charterhouse. He had not realised the value of the pension attached until Irving told him, but gives the reasons why he cannot accept the offer. His health is too bad. Irving will understand how reluctant he is to refuse the offer which still remains open. He thanks him for his interest and inquiries, and excuses the blots. He is too ill to rewrite the note. |
