Glad that Irving likes his idea. He is shy of asking for suggestions because he does not wish Irving to think his music is of such importance as to make it unduly prominent. Wants Irving to know that the interest he takes in the musical portion of Irving's venture is inspired by strong feeling of affection for Irving. Sends most fervent wishes for the night's success. |

A noble work, nobly done. Congratulations and love and hearty admiration to Ellen Terry. Carr has done masterly work. It is a triumph for him. (Postscript) His wife had not been out for weeks so he had to get her home and consequently did not see Irving the previous night. |

Eugene [Smith] has made a great hit with Irving's picture. It was placed in the Club on Founder's night and was well received. The individuality of the actor shines through the character. It will hang in the Spring Exhibition at the National Academy before returning to The Players. He thanks Irving for the support he gave the artist. |

Many thanks for Baillie's bookplate. He sends his and hopes it will not frighten Baillie. It is a "fearful wild fowl" intended by the artist he believes to represent the croaking raven bellowing for revenge. |
