They have been looking forward to seeing Irving and Boyd Carpenter's wife wrote to Bram Stoker saying how pleased they were. Will Irving forgive them if they fail? He has been at work all day and has returned with such a bad head he can hardly write. He would be worse than useless if he came. He is very sorry and disappointed. |

| Content Summary: |
Thanks Irving for letting her see 'The Corsican Brothers' again the previous night in which she now detects greater subtlety than years before and more artistry in special effects. May she come again on Friday? Has had recent success with her anonymous novel 'Passion's Puppets' in which the principal character is based on Irving. His voice is more musical than ever which helps to conceal the defects in the "well meant but unsuccessful lines in 'King Arthur' ". |

| Notes: |
'Dear Sir Henry'. 'The Corsican Brothers' was staged from 15th - 24th July in 1895. |
