| Date: | 1898, Nov., 10 | ||
| Document Type: | Letter (4 p.) | ||
| Content Summary: | Has been travelling and just heard of Irving's illness. Hopes for a speedy recovery; Irving's energy and artistic example are needed. Abbey tried to learn every detail of 'Richard II' before he left, it will be spectacular. A Spanish company has been creating a sensation; leading actress very firm and dresses magnificent but a dreary play. The crisp air in Rome would be good for Irving. Reports sudden death of Mrs Abbey's father. Best wishes to Irving and Miss Terry. | ||

| Notes: | Irving was taken ill in Glasgow 13th October 1898 with pneumonia and pleurisy. The proposed production of 'Richard II' was abandoned. | ||

| Document Type: | Letter (2 p.) | ||
| Content Summary: | He will sign the portrait if she will have it sent to him. He expresses opinions strongly against smoking in a theatre. Acting would be impossible. The theatre is for the recreation of the sober minded and intelligent. Some of the managers have tried for years, even with making sacrifices, to uphold the dignity of the dramatic theatre, and such a change would kill both theatre and dignity. | ||
