| Content Summary: | As the Lyceum is closed for Saturday evenings in June would Irving like to come to the Newspaper Press Fund Dinner on 9th June at which Clarke is to preside. If Irving will respond to the toast for 'Visitors' it will be a great honour. He had to return the seats sent for Wednesday as he was in Devonshire. Thanks Irving for the Scotch whiskey sent as he embarked for the States. | ||

| Content Summary: | Irving's Fund is started. He can put Boucicault down for a like sum every July. Hare & Kendal have offered him the St James' for a dramatic seance and he proposes one Wednesday afternoon at the end of the month to meet the profession and those seriously interested to describe and illustrate the Art of Acting, its principles and how it may be studied practically beyond elocution and declamation. Admission by invitation only. He asks Irving's help and advice. If it is a success he could give a second public one to benefit the Fund. He will try to find Irving the next day. | ||

| Content Summary: | He is again in the old quarters until the June quarter day - it is very small but something suitable is difficult to find. Dr O'Callaghan has returned finally to England on a pension of £900 per year. Flo[rence] is well and happy and delighted to have him back and seems to have taken a new view of everything. She is an altered woman and devoted to the boy who is fine. The "benefit" was a big success. He sends 3 papers and a number of 'London Society' with something about him in connection with Dickens, written by Edmund Yates, and he would like it cut and pasted. Barham (?) has his divorce. He has mislaid his father's last letter and asks him to repeat questions. (P.S.) He encloses a p.o.v. for £2. | ||
| Published: | L. Irving, p.186 (in part, with wrong date). | ||
| Notes: | Surgeon General Daniel O'Callaghan was his wife's father. The benefit was probably that on (25th?) March 1871 described by Brereton, p.106. With a typewritten transcript in THM/37/1/11 wrongly assigned to September. | ||

| Content Summary: | She does not know how to thank him. How strange he should go to Hackness which belonged to a part of Mrs Malcolm's family. She knows the case of the Dramatic College and appreciates Irving's good advice and generous conduct to it. He was better to rest than to come to London. He will find spirits in Glasgow - a suitable place for Louis XI, which for all its faults she likes. He will receive a letter on Monday at York rather than on Sunday at Scarborough, where she had much fun once. She hopes he does not mind his letters read to friends. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | Dictated to Baroness Burdett-Coutt. Half of p.5-6 torn away and missing. The Royal Dramatic College was an ultimately unsuccessful charitable institution to provide a retirement home for actors. | ||
