Author: Arthur, Sir George Compton Archibald >>
Address: Carlton Club, Pall Mall, S.W.
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: 1894, Dec., 5 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: Will Irving say exactly where he would like 'The Story of Waterloo' to appear on the programme. They think it should come between 'The Vicarage' and Wyndham comedietta. Others think as the "pièce de resistance" it should be last, keeping the audience at fever heat. Irving can decide at his leisure. The house was almost sold out the first day (at treble ordinary prices) and they have to decide whether the pit should be reserved. (Postscript:) Just telegraph stating wishes.

Date: [1894?], [Dec.?] 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: He has received a letter, and feels at home in the theatre. He will go in Mrs Jekyll's box unless it is too cold. He would like to contribute more than £25 to the Theatre Fund - or to the [Royal] Dramatic Fund if Irving thinks that best. Mr Karl has been extremely useful and unremitting in work.
Published: -
Notes: Irving is not directly addressed. This may refer to the charity performance of 'Waterloo' on 17th December at the Garrick Theatre, and possibly to work on Burne-Jones' designs for 'King Arthur'. Karl is probably Charles Karl who later designed costumes for Lyceum productions.
