| Content Summary: | He has not telegraphed to Wolverhampton for news as the newspapers have kept him informed of Irving's progress and improvement. Irving must know he was not forgotten, rather a source of anxiety. He wonders if it is not a blessing in disguise and hopes Irving is not enjoying a forced rest, and that he will return refreshed. He expresses his strong attachment to Irving, giving him a share in his troubles as well as his triumphs. | ||

| Content Summary: | Even if he has not left cards at Grafton St, Irving is constantly in his heart and mind. He hears news through common friends that Irving is mending quickly. When he returns he may want to spare himself fatigue. Pinero will be free from his responsibilities to [John] Hare by the end of February and will be glad to help Irving rehearse his new production. He suggests what he could do - thanks in part to what he learned from Irving. No need to reply unless Irving needs a lieutenant. (Postscript) His memory of Cyrano is good if Irving returns to that play. | ||

| Content Summary: | He thanks Pinero for his kind suggestion. His help would be of inestimable value under some conditions but at present he intends to produce no more new work at the Lyceum - not for some time - but to travel and realise not speculate. With health and strength he can do this. He is well but has been told to rest, which is a bore. The sunshine there has been beautiful. He would like to see Pinero if he came that way but knows how busy he is on Hare's authority. He would like to see Pinero - in town if not before. His heart is full of Pinero's kindness. | ||
