| Content Summary: | He is glad of good news. Stoker will gain strength every hour. This is an admirable paper. Bok should be very grateful as Irving is. All well. He will leave there on Monday and stay a week at Tintagel. Love to all. | ||

| Notes: | With note by Stoker that article 'The study of Shakespeare in small communities' was sent to Bok or R. McClure on 10/8/99. This was published in America in 'The Ladies Home Journal' in 1899. The implication is that the paper was in fact written by Stoker. See Letter 6410. The likely envelope is at RL2/8/482. | ||

| Date: | [1897], [Aug.], [8] | ||
| Document Type: | Letter (3 p.) | ||
| Content Summary: | The enclosed came on Tuesday - no explanation - a large bill. A hard lesson - they cannot forget the friends who have stood by, but he is sure all will get well. He is arranging business and will want a little more - about £300 - and Stoker had better write to Winchelsea and ask for it for Lyceum affairs, not for Irving, and pay it into Coutts's. He hopes Stoker is having a good time as he must need a good rest. Sheringham suits his needs - the country around is beautiful but the place itself a sort of Westgate. He likes the sea. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | Dated by Stoker, and envelope postmarked 9/8/97. There is a sum on back totalling 2030 - perhaps pounds. Ellen Terry's cottage was at Winchelsea. | ||
