| Notes: | On a benefit matinee in Philadelphia on 2nd January when 'Journeys End in Lovers Meeting' and 'Waterloo' were performed for the Philadelphia Jefferson Maternity Home. Irving's pencil note suggests the two plays first and the vocal selections all together last, instead of as proposed, sending love & greeting. (Irving had to act that evening.) | ||

| Content Summary: | Irving's letter of December 29th came when the College was not in session. The proposal is welcome if it can be arranged and would be greatly appreciated.

The named date is satisfactory and could be either afternoon or evening. Thanks for the kind response to the invitation. | ||

| Document Type: | Letter (3 p.) | ||
| Content Summary: | On return from Virginia he has found Irving's letter of 22nd. Unfortunately he must disclose an embarrassment. The agreed date comes in Holy Week. He believes the College's engagement with the community and many episcopal clergy make such entertainment at the time unwise. Mr Brander Matthews concurs. He is mortified to have overlooked this. Can Irving name an earlier date? He would suggest another place, the Concert Hall of Madison Square Gardens. If no other day is free they must hope to be more fortunate during Irving's next tour, or have a talk to the College as originally suggested. He hopes Irving understands; his & Miss Terry's generous offer was valued and he hopes they may yet greet them at the College. | ||
