| Content Summary: | The Honourable Tom Ochiltree is at the Carlton Hotel. Could Loveday see him and talk over the Galveston affair. There is not much chance of Irving appearing as he has had to decline so many similar requests and in fact is away from London, but he is heart and soul with the cause and anxious to do everything or anything. | ||

| Content Summary: | He sees no mention of 'Eugene Aram' in the pars that day. In addition to appearances of Sir Henry Irving as Corporal B[rewster] and Mr Tree as [Fagin?] they then mention Grossmith & Bourchier but no 'Eugene Aram'. The pars obviously come from Tree's hive. Irving inclines to put in an advertisement himself. What does Loveday think? Love to Mrs Loveday. | ||

| Content Summary: | It is a good joke but Irving is probably more familiar with these great personages than their signatures. It would be better if Irving wrote a short formal acceptance of HRH's invitation and sent it to the College. He hopes to come for his box, but College takes it out of him so much that by 6 o'clock all he wants is the pepper box on his own dinner table. | ||

| Content Summary: | Must send thanks as she greatly enjoyed the delicious scenery of the Lyceum and the people in it to whom Irving's genius gave life. She was up for the Prince of Wales's Garden Party and only survived the heat due to Irving's hospitality. She thought his Shylock better than ever especially the Tubal scene; bettering the best. They are at Sevenoaks - could Irving come to pass a day with them? How delightful Irving will be as Modus. She saw the lovely Portia [Ellen Terry] when she first played it but now it is far beyond that. She was gifted but now adds accomplishment. Irving is a kind of magician. | ||

| Content Summary: | She thanks Irving for the little book, useful alike for amateurs and actors. No one has done more than he to raise the general tone and the vocation. The individual's contribution disappears with time but he has given the profession permanent thrust and value. Gentlemen join without family opposition, but she fears Irving may get too many of these. They had seen his Charles I and Ellen Terry's pathetic queen at Drury Lane and were much moved. They want him to see their son's 'Deserted Roads' any time before four even if they are out. If he had any Sunday to dine with them they would use lamps. Perhaps he can sup one evening. Greeting to the lovely Lady Beatrice. | ||

| Content Summary: | ... If the Institute were founded Irving should be the first President, and the President always a leading actor. But with the work started, if Morley makes suggestions, it is for others to act on. He has been glad to hear from Charles Harcourt that there is already a movement in the profession for such an Academy, and Harcourt has asked him to call. He will go to the rooms of the Theatrical Fund, 27, Great Queen St at 3pm on Tuesday. If Irving thinks Morley might be useful and would call at the same place and time, a few words might not be wasted. Morley merely wishes to help and is not crotchety. | ||

| Notes: | Charles Harcourt became Secretary of the National Dramatic Academy in 1880, but died on 28th October that year. Information on the Academy is sparse. | ||

| Content Summary: | He hardly likes to ask if Irving will repeat the service done two years before by examining the College's Elocution pupils from 2 to 3 on Wednesday afternoon, March 26th. The pupils are under Millard's care and some are intelligent enough. He wished he had heard Irving's lecture at Wolverhampton with its remarks on the conversation between Hamlet and Ophelia. Will he print it? | ||
