Author: Parkinson, Joseph Charles >>
Address: 23 Gt George Street, Westminster, London, S.W.
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: 1889, Jan., 16 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: He praises the picturesque beauty of [Macbeth], particularly the last act, as seen from the centre of the house. He wants to go again as a student without the disturbance of a First Night. He was completely entranced. He will not write about Irving's own masterpiece, but when he sees it again they will sup at the Reform. They were very jolly and the Garrick members are very pleased with Irving's gift. He enjoyed the evening and is sorry Irving is suffering. His whispers were audible from the stage to the back of the house so he hoped Irving was better. He left as usual and was surprised it was 3am when he went to bed. Congratulations.

Author: Mansfield, Richard >>
Address: Hotel Mont Dore, Bournemouth
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: 1889, Feb., 11 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: Irving's letter was forwarded to Bournemouth. So [Henry Savile] Clarke is going about saying nasty things because he wasn't allowed to run riot at the Globe? He warns Irving about Clarke's lack of reponsibility, with example of his behaviour at supper at Mansfield's. Whatever Mansfield said about Clement Scott's shabby treatment of himself, Irving was as far away from it as the moon - which evidently affects poor Clarke. Mansfield came near to sending a big salmon to Irving that day from Christchurch. He asks him not to believe such nonsense.
Published: -
Notes: Clement Scott accused Mansfield of spreading the story that Irving had told him the only way for him to succeed was to "Bribe Scott" and that he had refused Scott a personal favour and then received bad reviews.
