From Irving's advertisement he fears there is no chance of a box remaining. If one is returned he and Lady Londesborough would like to see his first night in 'The Corsican Brothers'; and above all would Irving think of them and keep a box for the night when Miss Ellen Terry returns, whatever the play. |

Walter Arnold was lessor of the Lyceum and several times corresponded with Irving about alterations. In 1881 much work was done while the theatre was closed in August. Known discussions took place in 1881, 1882 and 1883. |

Thanks for the stall for the first night of 'The Corsican Brothers'. It is precious in itself but a reminder of all the worries Irving has to go through. He sends friendly wishes for the success of the venture. |
