| Content Summary: | Irving may have seen in 'The Era' correspondence between the Editor and himself about his performances. The critic doubts he had permission to use the names in his programme, and if so why. Would Irving write him a line to send saying he had his permission because he was only starting out and was the son of Clarkson Stanfield R.A. By doing this Irving will be doing him a great kindness. He soon begins an engagement at the Royalty Theatre. (Postscript:) Will Irving also state that he was represented by Mr Austin. | ||

| Content Summary: | As a playgoer for nearly 70 years he sends congratulations and thanks for the pleasure he has received at the Lyceum. He saw plays produced by Macready, Kean and Phelps and now in old age sees the greatest plays performed in the most perfect manner. He sends the enclosed tribute to the genius of Tennyson which is intended to face a cabinet portrait of the poet, and which he hopes may be added to Irving's treasures. | ||

| Content Summary: | Congratulations. Twice when he has written about charity for members of his profession Irving has sent immediate kind assistance, and he has had seats at the Lyceum although his journalism is sporting rather than theatrical. That aside he congratulates Irving as an old scholar at Mr Pinches' after Irving, but his brothers were before him. He was also fellow scholar with Leopold Lewis in France and knows how good Irving was to him. His nephew C.A. Smith the cricketer has joined the theatrical profession and is playing in 'The Notorious Mrs Ebbsmith'. | ||

| Notes: | Charles Aubrey Smith, 1863-1948, actor and cricketer was the son of a doctor, Charles John Smith. Leopold Lewis was author of 'The Bells' and received financial help from Irving (see Letters). | ||
