Can they leave it open? The comedy experience [unspecified] was the devil. Will come to see Irving before he closes. | ||

| Content Summary: | Thanks Irving for Box. Poor Watts Phillips could never have dreamed of such a performance [of 'The Dead Heart']. He had a wretched death with not even a candle in the house. The good Mrs Sala helped to do what was necessary. She believes Mrs Phillips is also dead but the boy and girl alive. She has lost touch since being in France. Had lunch the day before with Mrs C. Mathews and talked of Ellen Terry's illness. | ||

| Content Summary: | The next Saturday members, some listed, of the Whitefriars Club are going to Stratford-on-Avon. Literary men wish to honour Shakespeare. The Committee would like Irving to accompany them but of course this is impossible. They are to present a bronze bust of Shakespeare by the late William Page, President of the New York Academy, based on a study of the Darmstadt death mask.The presentation will be made in the Memorial Theatre by Sir W[illia]m P. Treloar to Edgar Flower. Sir Arthur Hodgson will be present. Mr Page's family wish for Irving's presence; but perhaps he could send a letter to be sent to the American papers. | ||
