| Content Summary: |
He will sign the portrait if she will have it sent to him. He expresses opinions strongly against smoking in a theatre. Acting would be impossible. The theatre is for the recreation of the sober minded and intelligent. Some of the managers have tried for years, even with making sacrifices, to uphold the dignity of the dramatic theatre, and such a change would kill both theatre and dignity. |

It is possible that this is to Edith Taylor Thomson (see Letter 9037) but it also may possibly be to Mr Thomson. |

| Content Summary: |
Lionel Brough is one of his oldest friends and he regrets not being present to honour Brough's long life of artistic work. He praises abilities and skill which have won public support as much as his charm, generosity and solid worth endeared him to his many friends. Add Irving's faith, warm regards and remembrances. |

| Notes: |
Probably addressed to the Chaiman or organizer of the Jubilee Dinner to Lionel Brough held at the O.P.Club, to be read out at the dinner. Brough made his debut in December 1854. Irving acted with Brough at the Queen's Theatre in 1867-68. |

| Notes: |
In pencil and possibly not in Irving's hand, the address definitely not; but he was in Dundee in the first week of November. Dan Leno died on 31st October 1904. This is likely to be the draft telegram sent on receipt of the news. |
