He asks for a reply to his letter of 5th and approval of scene plot for the first part of 'Red Riding Hood', letting him know when contracts might be ready. Sorry for the trouble at a busy time but he wants to get on with the libretto to make progress with costume and scenery. |

| Notes: |
Probably written after Irving's return from America in 1896. Stevens had appeared in the Lyceum pantomime in 1895/96, but Irving decided to stay in London and present 'Richard III' in December 1896 and 'Red Riding Hood' was performed at the Novelty Theatre instead. |

Please send him to Edinb[urgh] half dozen letters of introduction for Lockwood. To Porter, Fowler, L. Hutton, President Chamber Commerce, Seth Low & Elderkin and anyone else Stoker thinks of. |

| Notes: |
Irving was in Edinburgh 20-26 June and the surviving letters, dated 30th July, are in his hand, so Stoker's presumably did not reach him. Remaining letters to William Carey, Seth Low, Horace Porter and an unnamed friend were presumably not presented by Frederick Lockwood. |
