| Content Summary: |
Supposes Irving will have received several letters from "the boys" all saying the same thing. Details how he has dried in several parts. Passed the Dee Oil Co's works on Sunday - old Jolland(?) gave a loud cheer and they all thought how Irving would have joined in. Glad that Irving has been moved into another room. Curzon stayed at home in Chester on Sunday night - hopes that Irving will go there with him. The Jocker(?) and Tripp Edgar all send their love. Tripp Edgar says he must tell Irving that he dried in 'Othello' in Irving's part as the messenger! |

| Notes: |
Addresses Irving as 'My dear old master'. On crossed and headed paper 'Mr Frank Curzon's Company in 'Two Roses' by James Albery from the Vaudeville Theatre, London'. 'Two Roses' was first performed at the Vaudeville in June 1870, starring Irving as Digby Grant so the paper possibly from the 1880s may have been kept for Irving. The "another room" might be a reference to Irving's knighthood. Irving played the Messenger in Othello either in Sunderland or Edinburgh, 1856-59. Howard Tripp Edgar, d.1927 was an actor who, like Curzon, turned to management. |

Hopes he doesn't intrude as Mr Toole/Paul Pry says. Toole is acting in Bedford that evening and asked Hill to tell Irving he had seen him and had pleasant chat. He looked fairly well. Toole was interested to know that Hill will be giving his 20th Annual Reading in Bedford, his native town, on Feb. 18. He encloses a preliminary notice. They have been watching news of Irving's successful tour and receptions in Southern States and hope mixing of English speaking peoples will make war impossible. The engagement of Irving's son [Harry] and Miss Baird of Trilby fame was announced that week and he offers congratulations. |

| Content Summary: |
... She would like to hear from Stoker as she would prefer suggestions about fees should come through him from Irving. She hopes to sail home leaving New York on the Campania on 1st February. Her London address is 56 Lancaster Gate. Sends compliments to Her Majesty [Ellen Terry]. She hears the South has a new cause for rebellion and wants to depose the President in favour of England's greatest knight. |

| Notes: |
The letter is just possibly to Stoker, but Irving may have given him the final page, concerning him. The play being discussed may be her 'The School for Saints' which was given a reading/performance at the Lyceum on 30th March, according to Nicoll, during the Forbes-Robertson season. Irving was in New Orleans for the week 27th January - 1st February. |
