| Document Type: | Letter (3 p.) | ||
| Content Summary: | Stoker will see from Mrs K's [Kingston's] letter that Patti is coming to 'Faust' the next night but not to supper. Patti proposes supper for the next night, Wednesday. Please tell Mrs K. that he has an engagement with Patti next Wednesday and put off supper until next week or the week after. Any night would suit him. Write to tell Mrs Burnand that supper has been put off - also Jemmy Rogers. Also write to Brough that Irving will recite 'The Uncle' for his benefit rather than 'The Dream of Eugene Aram' as it is shorter and more suitable. When is the Second Reading of the Theatre Bill? He supposes Stoker will go. | ||

| Notes: | This probably relates to 1886, when Adelina Patti, the Beatty Kingstons and Burnands were among the guests at Irving's dinner at the Star and Garter, Richmond on 3rd July. | ||
