Content Summary: Moore who was converted to Christianity by a performance of 'Faust' at Lyceum in '91, on behalf of the citizens of London asks if Irving's Company could visit London for one week if £150.00 per night were guaranteed. Moore, originally from Liverpool, is indignant that Irving and Ellen Terry have visited Toronto, and not London, the Dominion's third city. If souvenirs of 'Becket' & 'King Arthur' still in print he would mail 50 cents for the two.

Content Summary: One of his clients - a superior firm has an idea. If Irving is interested he will call - he is not personally interested. During the season Irving might possibly be glad to find a few well-dressed ladies & gentlemen to fill vacant stalls or dress-circle seats. His friends would provide them from their clients (up to 100) keeping a private register of those considered suitable they would like to compliment from a business point of view. They would pay a nominal price (say 1/-) for the tickets.

Dear Mr Jefferson has decided to present 'Becket' to the Players on Founders' Night, and told Eugene to tell Irving.
