| Content Summary: |
He replies to a letter from Irving dated April 1st and received in Glasgow, asking him to dinner, and at first thought a joke. However perhaps Irving would like to come to him for the day instead. It would only mean two nights' travelling, etc. with no time to change clothes. He promises a typical Irish meal and an open carriage. Irving could stay an extra night to see Mathews at the Gaiety, the alternative being Charlotte Saunders at the Theatre Royal, but he may have seen her. |
