| Content Summary: | Believing development of a taste for true dramatic art necessary among the cultured coloured citizens of New York, a number of talented men and women actors met on 7th January and organized the Irving Dramatic Club. They did not chose Irving's name as if conferring an honour, but because they recognised the equality and justice synonymous with the English stage. Thus looking for a patron they reverted to the source most likely to favour their efforts, with Irving's name as an incentive. They hope he will approve. | ||

| Notes: | Signed for the Club by Charles G. Bowser, President, and W.H.A. Moore, Secretary. For Irving's reply see Letter 5887. | ||

| Content Summary: | He takes great pleasure from being associated with such an intellectual movement among the coloured citizens of New York as a Dramatic Club. Art is of no country and has no nationality. Europe is indebted to the artistic culture of the coloured peoples of the Eastern world, and there is promise in the future of his correspondents' race, as they no longer feel the disabilities of colour in association with their white fellow citizens. He once had the pleasure of knowing the famous actor Ira Aldridge. He wishes their club a prosperous career. | ||

| Notes: | A reply to Letter 5886. Irving met Ira Aldridge when the latter came on tour to Sunderland while Irving was in the Company in 1856. | ||
