(Postscript) His life is in the busy world and he may like as much as they the lines on the City in the accompanying little volume - she never found the thought expressed before. |

Written by a secretary? The Cardinal is Richelieu. The volume is unidentified but might be F. Locker Lampson's 'London Lyrics'. |

| Notes: |
A letter to her son Walter H. Pollock? Irving may have joined the Devonshire Club in 1890 but this paper is watermarked 1876 and was perhaps taken when visiting. He played Hamlet on the last night of the season, 24th June, 1876. |
