| 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 thanks Irving for his kind thought on the first night of 'The Musketeers' which promises to be successful. They are glad to hear of Irving's steady recovery. During their week in Edinburgh he thought of him and hoped to see him before leaving Scotland but rehearsals were so arduous he could not get away. He hopes Irving will recover rapidly and is glad the tour is going all right. They miss him at the Garrick. Gillie is more Pepysian than ever and Kemble more Johnsonian. Tree's wife who has always been devoted to Irving, wanted to visit him in Glasgow but did not want to tire him. Please do not write. They hope he will be in London soon. | ||

| Notes: | Irving was seriously ill in Glasgow in October. Gillie is probably Gilbert Farquhar, but possibly W.S. Gilbert; and Kemble, Henry Kemble. | ||

| Content Summary: | He went to 'Fielding' on Saturday night & had a lark with Hare, Kendal, Thorne, Albert Levy, Saville [Savile] Clarke, Warner, Hollingshead - made a little speech about 100th night of 'Much Ado'. He proposed Irving's health & Thorne & Albert Levy did it well with him - made Kendal drink. K. said he had seen and liked it. Hare had not seen it. He spoke to Hare about meeting on Wednesday but he will be out of town. He sounded him about Academy Music. He is quite against it. He couldn't get at Kendal. Irving must include him. Ask Bram to see him that night. There will be oppostion. Bancroft is not warm at all. He hopes Irving's voice is better. | ||

| Notes: | The Fielding was a Club. The "Academy Music" might be the proposal for a benefit for the Royal College of Music which was held at the Lyceum that year. The 100th performance of 'Much Ado' was on 20th January. | ||
