Address:
Date: 1894, May, 22 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: He is hoping to see her day by day - not long before he calls and gives an account of himself. Desperately busy since his return. He brought her a little remembrance from America which he sends with this. Do not trouble to acknowledge. Her more than generous subscription to the Royal General Theatrical Fund is greatly appreciated - Irving is proud to have it on his list. 'The Daily Chronicle' is doing good work - he will watch with interest the proceedings at the Princes' Hall. He comments on the terrible weather. Poor Yates - he was an old friend and with all his faults a staunch friend. God bless her.

Content Summary: There is rumour Irving will be producing a new play and Dawle asks for any small part. He has played in most of Shakespeare's comedies and has just come out of 'The Cotton King' where he played a curate. He can find nothing and although believing he will be re-engaged at the Adelphi in the autumn would welcome anything before then. He encloses reviews from 'The Cotton King'.
Published: -
Notes: Irving's note that would be glad if opportunity came but no opening at present 2/6/94. The reviews are not present.
