| Content Summary: | He has been working in a more determined way and will hope in a short time to repay Irving's advances. He has written a 4 act drama + 7 tableaux which he read to the Princess's management. It was accepted but Gooch has had to relinquish the management because of sudden paralysis. Chatterton tried to get it on at the Olympic, but it has been let to Michael Gunn(?). He has also written an opera libretto. He has a weekly drama column in the 'Manchester Courier'. He has given up his solicitor's practice to concentrate on literature. Irving has given him £25 but nothing is coming in. He wants to send his son aged 13 back to school. He has to move from his present apartment on 24th June. Could he have another £40 which will make £115 in all. He encloses an IOU for the £40 and will call at the Stage Door for an answer at 7pm the next day. | ||

| Content Summary: | Thanks Irving for 'copious supply' of tickets for his students to see 'King Arthur'. They enjoyed themselves "mightily". Thanks Irving for his report on the programme at the examination which he wished had been more worthy of Irving's interest. Two performers were ill and it was below rehearsal level etc. Irving's recommendations will be thankfully considered. | ||

| Content Summary: | Irving will remember that he promised the Council of the RCM to act as annual examiner of the Operatic and Dramatic Class and to send a report based on impressions of 'Falstaff' on 11th December at the Lyceum (by Irving's invitation). Though not due until Easter Irving might like to clear the ground with his report. Parry hopes he was favourably impressed. They have to pay more attention to the music than the acting but seek a high standard. He is sorry to hear of Irving's accident. He was prevented from going to 'Richard III' the previous night. | ||

| Content Summary: | Has had recently to submit list of proposed gentlemen Annual examiners to RCM Council. At the time he had hoped the Annual Performance might be at the Lyceum so he took the liberty of submitting Irving's name to report on the opera performance. This was passed by the Council and the Prince of Wales as President. Hopes now that Irving will attend the performance probably at the Savoy Theatre on 10th December. Feels reluctant to ask and everyone will understand if it is inconvenient etc. | ||

| Content Summary: | Thanks Irving for his note. If he is going to look in at the performance next Thursday would he mind taking a note or two and send a few words by way of report to the RCM Council? This need not be about the musical aspect but perhaps about elocution, acting or action which will be all that is required. It is very late in the day to find someone else. | ||
