| Content Summary: |
He saw in last week's Era that Irving was coming to Bristol that week. He hopes to go with a large party on Tuesday... If Irving is free the next week they would be glad if he would visit there. It is 19 miles and Irving could come after the Theatre or on Sunday. He would find friends: Arthur Blunt, old Pellew, &c. It would be good if Irving could stay for Christmas - or a couple of nights - when his tour ceases on 21st. Is he at the Royal or where? The road is good and he recommends a postboy.They never go to bed before 12 - generally later. |

Come round to Simmons's - Don't say he is there. |
| Published: |
- |
| Notes: |
With hand delivered envelope marked "Immediate". Simmons is almost certainly the theatrical costumier B.J. Simmons & Co at 7 & 8 King St, Covent Garden. Simmons is not credited with supplying Lyceum costumes in later productions, but costumes for the 1874 'Hamlet' were hired, and this may have been the case for the 1878 revival of the production. |

He thanks Irving for the stall. He saw M'Lean who funks it. Long was disgusted with him, as any other publisher would make it go. He has told M'Lean to let Irving have the picture at once. He very much wants Irving to see Mrs Brown. |

| Notes: |
M'Lean had undertaken to engrave Long's portrait of Irving. Long may have been referring to his portrait of Hannah Brown, but he had possibly seen that Irving's friend was rapidly failing. She died on 21st December. |
