Content Summary: He is glad all is as Laurence wishes. Irving has applications from many people and hears from all sorts that business is generally v.v. (bad?). If (?) before 3rd April Tree will agree to what Laurence wants and the little low will be over. They will be thinking of Drury Lane. He is glad about 'Daisy's Escape' - just the play for amateurs and useful to Laurence. He has just reached Aberdeen in snow after the mugginess of Glasgow. He hopes the letter will reach Laurence - last address Hastings. (Postscript:) Sunday 20th Nov. King's Theatre first rate but small. They helped fill the Royalty & the Royal. Mr Storey's men were especially delighted with (Richard) Lovelace - both send warmest greetings. They were concerned Lovelace did not have a happy ending.
