| Content Summary: | Reeves is very ill and in serious money difficulties. Heavy losses from engagements of £300, £225 and from five Ballad Concerts loss of 50 guineas each. Home expenses are heavy. Mrs Reeves has Bright's disease and is a complete invalid. Would Irving appear at a Morning Concert one Saturday? The Hall is very good with large platform. Reeves is really hard up and cannot sell the house. | ||

| Content Summary: | Thanks for a great treat on Saturday. He had studied Goethe's 'Faust' for years and now has seen it magnificently produced by Irving. At first he was disturbed that Irving had not played a traditional Mephistopheles - with a problem when he bullies Faust; but he was held until the end. | ||

| Content Summary: | Thinks this is a time when they are warming to the old country. Wants to establish 'The British meeting'- a meeting of children here at home like the British Association but more historical. It could last a week; half camping out with days devoted to Drama, Art, Music , Poetry etc also Inventions, Agriculture & History. It would bring people together and become a great National Picnic. Seeks Irving's support to act as President of the first 'Dramatic Day'. | ||

| Content Summary: | Irving's letter has given Sala great pleasure and he has preserved it. He praises 'Romeo and Juliet' as an artistic triumph. He thought hard over his criticism in the 'Illustrated News'. He asks for a box for Monday so Mrs Sala can see it. He asks Irving and Ellen Terry to support a midnight entertainment either at the Mansion House or Grosvenor House in aid of the Women & Children's Hospital in the Waterloo Road. Ellen Terry should do Portia's mercy speech. Sala will give his 20 minute lecture 'Down among the Mormons, or Life in Salt Lake City'. | ||
