| Content Summary: | He sends a programme for his matinée. He wishes to express his regret that John Coleman had written to Irving asking him to play at Loraine's benefit after he had seen the letter that Bram Stoker sent to Charles Wyndham on the subject. "Save me from my friends." He did not authorise Coleman to write and knew nothing of it till a few days previously. He is delighted with the honour conferred on Irving as every actor must feel reflected glory. He particularly praises Irving's performance and business at the end of the 2nd Act of 'The Merchant of Venice'. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | Loraine's benefit was a performance of 'The Merchant of Venice' on 17th October 1895 at the Gaiety at which he played the Duke. | ||

| Content Summary: | The design is finished. He has taken the liberty of introducing a persuasive little passage from 'Corinthians'. Could Stoker send for it as it is unwieldy by post. It will reproduce by ordinary photo-lithography and would be printed in black or brown. Can he have drawing back when reproduced? | ||

| Document Type: | Letter (2 p.) | ||
| Content Summary: | He has received a letter, and feels at home in the theatre. He will go in Mrs Jekyll's box unless it is too cold. He would like to contribute more than £25 to the Theatre Fund - or to the [Royal] Dramatic Fund if Irving thinks that best. Mr Karl has been extremely useful and unremitting in work. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | Irving is not directly addressed. This may refer to the charity performance of 'Waterloo' on 17th December at the Garrick Theatre, and possibly to work on Burne-Jones' designs for 'King Arthur'. Karl is probably Charles Karl who later designed costumes for Lyceum productions. | ||
