Thanks for the trouble taken for Miss Ashwell on Saturday. He apologises for pressing Irving but is worried about his matinees on 30th May and 1st June. Her play is a success and matinees are good business at the Comedy. He wants to give one on 25th to earn £100 and Thursday would lose another £100. If Irving could spare her after the next Wednesday he would be grateful as there are only a few weeks before the summer. |

| Content Summary: |
Mr Parkinson told him Irving intended to ask him to supper at Lyceum. He is sorry he has to leave England, which will prevent him from meeting Irving. Would Irving be interested in a new play in two long acts - useful to allow a one act piece like 'Waterloo' without the fatigue of one of the great pieces after it. It would be a great strain to do 'Waterloo' and 'Richelieu' or 'Hamlet' in one night. He proposes a play centred round Louis XIV founded on the Court Chapters of his novel 'The Refugees': Louis between Mesdames de Montespan & de Maintenon would be fine character for Irving. Irving may however already have plays. (Postscript:) His address is now Belvidere Hotel, Davos Platz. |
