| Content Summary: |
Reece has had a huge success with his latest burlesque. Amidst political satire Irving crops up but thanks to Irving the likeness is loved and laughed at. He has written a parody of 'Richelieu' but assures Irving of his life-long friendship and admiration. He is the greatest living actor and Irving may quote that if there are comments on the lampoon. P.S. Mr Bateman hates Reece so will Irving make his peace with him? 'I have made my piece with you!' |

The farce before 'Richelieu Redressed' at the Gaiety was 'Seeing Toole' 3/9/1873 but Nicoll lists the previous burlesque as 'Martha; or, A Fair Take-in' 14/4/1873. |

| Content Summary: |
He cannot be with Marshall that day. He starts for Birmingham at 5 o'clock - his father is ill there and wishes to see him. He regrets not being able to accept Marshall's brother's hospitality. He tried to be with him the previous night but was too done up. Richelieu twice is a trifle too much. He sends his love to Marshall's wife. |

| Notes: |
Addressed "Dear Sir" and possibly not originally to Irving who has no association with the address, which is written on the back of the folded note. John Baldwin Fosbroke, with same first names as Buckstone, published poems in 1872 & 1873. The letter might have been sent to Hezekiah Bateman? |
