| Content Summary: | At a meeting of the General Committee on February 1, 1882, it was proposed by Lord Rowton and seconded by A.W. Dubourg that the Secretary thank Irving for his cooperation and say that the Committee would like to arrange a meeting with Irving in the chair in the Saloon at the Lyceum Theatre at an early date to bring the scheme prominently before the public.

| Notes: | The School is not named but identification is plain. The School Secretary was Cecil Raleigh, but the Committee Secretary appears to have been Edmund Routledge whose name and address are added by Stoker(?). Irving adds a note of his reply: He is happy to give the Saloon any day but his time is at present so committed with the preparation of 'Romeo & Juliet' that they cannot take any active part in proposed action till after the production. Note dated by Stoker 6/2/82. 'Romeo and Juliet' opened on 8th March . The School opened in October 1882, but only lasted for 3 years. | ||
