| Content Summary: | Joe [Comyns] Carr tells him that Irving has been seedy, but he hopes he will be able to come on Monday and writes to tell him that it will be a small affair & no speeches so Irving won't be "harried". (Postscript:) He saw 'Nero' the day before - it is indeed a most remarkable display. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | This seems to refer to the invitation in Letter 2949. Lady Tree states that Irving did speak, mentioning Tree's father. 'Nero' does not seem to be a play at this date, although several books on Nero were published in 1890. Tree staged Stephen Phillips' 'Nero' in 1906. | ||

| Content Summary: | He has read Irving's speech at the A.B.F. meeting and thought every word to the point. By accident he received no notice or he would have excused himself. Mr Colston's note was intercepted in the office. He will devote the proceeds of the first Wednesday matinee of 'The Dancing Girl' to the Fund but only make the announcement after the collections. Mr Colston will tell Irving of a strange coincidence about a relief application they have had. It was kind and thoughtful of Irving to call on Sunday. (Postscript:) No need to reply. | ||

| Content Summary: | He thanks Irving for letting him have Fuller Mellish. He gave a very fine performance as 'Hotspur'. Poor Clement Scott seems to be going from bad to worse - his article in 'The Rocket' was infamous - not his personalities but his reference to the actor-manager - he knew he was lying. | ||

Several of Irving's friends are coming as is also Alvarez the singer, who he understands is well worth knowing and not at all like a tenor! His wife has written to Miss Terry, but he knows how hard worked they both are, yet both hope they will come. | ||
