Brodribb Arms. He has had an application asking for Irving's arms and motto. Can Irving give him what information he has? He draws the Brodribb arms recorded there - 3 crowned swans "sable 3 swans argent crowned or" and mentions a Brodribb pedigree in the Dorset visitation of 1677, with no arms given. Scott-Gatty gave Harry (H.B. Irving or Loveday?) a copy of this. Forgive him for bothering Irving. |

| Content Summary: |
While they were on their honeymoon in Switzerland they heard of the dreadful death of Adelaide Neilson in Paris, and his wife was upset for some weeks. She read the little poem written by Clement Scott about Miss Neilson, admired his talent and came to study several of his poems. Would Sir Henry ask Mr Scott if he objects to his wife introducing three of his poems in her little book on Elocution, to be marked as she teaches them.The book is intended for pupils and friends. If it prove a success she will not want to return to the stage, if not and her health permits, she may do so to prove she can act as well as ever. With his wife's kind regards. |

| Notes: |
The first part of the letter is missing and these pages were presumably given by Irving to Clement Scott. Mrs Goostry was the actress Amy Sedgwick who married Goostry as her third husband in 1878 and lived mostly in retirement. The address is added at the head of this page in another hand. See Letter 4914. |
