| Content Summary: | He is pleased and honoured by Irving's interest in his poetic play 'Hairan' and wish to read it. However this seems useless as the Berlin first performance was followed by a police ban, and he thinks England is even stricter on this one point, and stage performance would not be permitted. He is sorry it will not be produced on Irving's "famous and elevated stage". | ||

| Content Summary: | Apologises for a previous letter. He had wrongly thought Irving wanted him for 'King Arthur', but this was a good thing as Mr Wyndham would not release him. He would like to talk to Irving about future arrangements when he returns to town, if Irving can spare the time from his production. | ||

| Notes: | Irving's note seems to imply he was to be seen 3/12/94. Webster eventually took over the part of Lancelot from Forbes Robertson. | ||

| Content Summary: | They are not acquainted but he asks for a seat for the next morning. 37 years before he saw Edmund Kean as Shylock in Irving's theatre, then old English Opera House, where his admirers flocked. Woolgar's failing sight and hearing make stalls desirable. He has seen all the eminent Shylocks of this generation. (Postscript:) He is an old actor and Shakespeare lover in his 80th year, the father of Mrs A. Mellon and close friend of Peter Berlyn for the last 38 years. If he leaves his name he hopes to see Irving after the play and will bring with him a great dramatic curiosity associated with Comedy which will interest him. | ||
