| Content Summary: |
Irving sends one or two photographs to add to Fitzgerald's interesting collection. He will send anything interesting when he comes across it. Thinks he may send a copy of 'Vanderdecken' which Fitzgerald might use as a skeleton for another play. It is a pity that the subject should be wasted. |

| Notes: |
'Vanderdecken' had not been a success when performed on 8th June 1878. See Letters 1410-11.

This suggests the occasion may be the benefit of the actor Henry Marston (Richard Henry Marsh) on 29th May 1879. Irving lent the Lyceum but refused to act himself. The letter may possibly be addressed to Mr Marsh. |

Letter (3 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He praises Irving's generous conduct over the proposed testimonial and asks one more favour. His illness precludes any further stage performance so the occasion is his farewell. He feels sympathy too in Irving's long period of probation. At some point in the performance will Irving give Marston's thanks to his audience. Irving's position, eloquence and exertions for the elevation of the profession make him feel this would be an especial favour. Best wishes for the success of Irving's enterprise. |
