Clement Scott's review of last night's performance has set Reeves longing. Hasn't seen Irving for a long time but work is so tiring and ill-rewarded. Whereas he used to get five guineas a lesson now it is one guinea. May he have a special Box so he can hear better? |

A lady who has met Irving desires to do so again - an old friend Lady Anglesey, is in London and it would delight her and gratify his wife if Irving would ask the fair American to his party on the 22nd. Realises it is an outrageous proposal but he is under Mefisto's [sic] influence and commits all sorts of follies. |
