Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: He wishes Scott the happiest returns of the day before, which Toole tells him of - Irving is ahead of Scott - & they will see if the four of them cannot gather the next Shrove Tuesday. Yardley seems to know more of Alfred Thompson than anybody in London. Has Scott heard from him - Irving thinks he has a subscription in hand hoping to get a few hundred. What a noble little fund theirs is - Scott could not have helped a better cause. Poor Alfred Thompson - a very sad story. (Postscript:) Just got there in a desperate fag - not a lovely Sunday.

Notes: Alfred Thompson had earlier worked with Irving; he died in 1895.
