Document Type: Letter (1 p.)
Content Summary: He has received a letter from poor old Miss Le Thière, but thinks a benefit would be of no use. He proposes to give her a bit from the Neilson Fund which has plenty in hand - more should be given away. Did Irving read the play 'Izeyl the Buddhist' which was written for Sarah Bernhardt. What a part the Buddhist Prince for Irving and Izeyl for Ellen [Terry]. Do read it - it would make a little fortune. Scott has had the sweetest telegram from Sarah.

Notes: L. Irving on the transcript says the missing first page said that Irving would give ten years of life to save Toole from this tour. Irving first worked with Roma Le Thière in 1866 and she later appeared in Lyceum productions. At the Lyceum Irving may have been working on 'King Arthur' or 'The Story of Waterloo'.
