Notes: In a secretary's hand. This is presumably the memorial tablet to Edmund Kean in Richmond Parish Church. Letter 6525 shows Irving's involvement in 1894. Cundall may be Herbert Minton Cundall, 1848-1940, an art historian who worked at the Victoria & Albert Museum. He is probably the man mentioned in Letter 1944 (1891).

Date: 1904, Nov., 11 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: He is afraid it is the old story; the rank and file of actors will not properly support the fund. Irving has been advocating their doing so for years without effect. He is getting tired of it and with experience of so many years of indifference he fears it is useless to expect a new generation to be different. Irving's experience is that actors will take part in performance but not give money. Tree played 'Trilby' for the Fund a few days ago. He hopes all goes well. Was told that Willard will have a splendid success in 'Justinian' and take America by storm. Comment re Barrett (indecipherable).

Content Summary: Has received 'Stage' and thinks Stoker's appreciation a fitting tribute to a great man. How is he? They are still wandering ... Remember his wife and himself to Irving or "Uncle Irving" as the children disrespectfully call him. They have not forgotten being taken to 'The Bells'. He asks for a photo of Stoker ...
