| Content Summary: | He has heard of the 'Comet' which he has not read and does not intend to read. If they were to take these things seriously they would be in a lunatic asylum. He knows these people too well to care for what they say. "The cut will mend" - an expression by a woman. And this wretched plaint from Louisa Moore. Can they do anything more for the poor thing? He hopes Scott is all right again. | ||

| Content Summary: | He doesn't think there could be a better Trustee than Lowne if he will accept responsibility, except Irving always leaves a power of attorney with George Lewis which covers everything. He is sorry to say that Stoker is laid up with pneumonia and is likely to cause a rather hard time. Two cheques enclosed. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | Irving had recently moved to Stratton Street and was preparing for British and American tours. George Lewis was his solicitor. E.Y. Lowne was proposed as a Trustee of the Neilson Fund. | ||

| Document Type: | Letter (3 p.) | ||
| Content Summary: | He was glad to get Scott's letter and learn he was better. He and Toole were talking of him the day before and hoping accounts of his health were exaggerated. Toole talked much of Scott's visit & wished he saw him more often. Perhaps in sending the money to the Rose Norreys Fund they should say they could not promise a yearly recurrence, the income not being large enough to guarantee £20 yearly. Association with Adelaide Neilson might be a good reason for an exception in Griffith's case. Scott would not give him more than £10? Toole is as Scott left him - sad enough. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | Rose Norreys had been declared insane in 1895. A fund was established for her then to which Irving subscribed £10. | ||

| Notes: | Not addressed to Scott. Irving's stay in Lewes is not so far recorded - Toole was often in Brighton. Joseph Arnold Cave, 1823-1912, was a music hall performer, actor and manager who is not recorded performing in London after 1894. He was given a place in the Charterhouse in 1905. | ||

| Content Summary: | He has looked over the verses - Scott's are charming, but he has been under a misapprehension, imagining the tableaux were a sort of historical representation. He finds that the verses are all, or nearly all of the passionate love order and thinks it would be unbecoming of him to read them & a little ridiculous. This was never his line of country at any time & now more than ever when he is past fifty. He is sorry but he could not read the poems in public. Ellen Terry & he would do anything for Scott that they could as he knows, but for Irving the 'Romeo & Juliet' days are over. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | These tableaux are not mentioned by Irving's biographers - possibly they were connected with a theatrical garden party or other charitable event. Irving was fifty on 6th February 1888. | ||
