| Content Summary: | Not knowing whether Irving goes to theatre yet he has written to Mr Hurst for a box for 'Olivia' the next night, wishing the Vicar were not absent. Sorry when he heard of Irving at Brighton, and called at the Norfolk too late as Irving was just leaving. They have been ill, and hope Irving is soon back at work. He has been working on a play by De Musset for [George] Alexander and suggests possibilities for Irving in his work. Love from his wife. | ||

| Content Summary: | Stoker misunderstood. If Irving allows, he wants a printed copy to correct and cut. Will cut in pencil, but more space if printed and easier to alter if seen in print. He has been ill and distracted. Another separate act to copy out. He enjoyed their walk home. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | Note probably indicates copy sent 6/1/82 ; this is his play 'Robert Emmett', which he had begun in 1879. | ||
