Content Summary: Stoker must circulate Edinburgh pages of Irving at the Philosophical Institute to London and provincial papers, but he had better go up there first as soon as the Arnold business is settled. A friend of Irving's, [F.] W. Lawson, Editor of the 'Edinburgh Courant' is now in London at 47 Fleet St. Irving has written asking him to see Stoker. Call on him as he will give Stoker hints on how best to circulate the address. Have it printed, and save trouble. All Edinburgh papers have applied for copies so best to do it methodically and well. They all have colds - Irving coughs, but not the audiences.
