Author: Pollock, Juliet >>
Address: 59, Montagu Square, W
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: [1874?], [June?] Monday
Document Type: Letter (5 p.)
Content Summary: Did Irving forget or was he prevented from coming to read 'The Bridge of Sighs' that day? As it was not written perhaps he expected her. Never mind she will go to him Wednesday or Saturday. It is good of Irving to help. She is so glad to have seen his little boys and he must not worry about their behaviour; it is best if they know they are loved. It is good that they are boys as their lives will be shaped by him. Irving may trust them to her when he knows her better. She has asked Mr Griffiths to secure two stalls for 23rd - Tuesday week. She asks 'Hamlet' to write re date. Was it a mistake or a forgetting?

Notes: Later in 1874 Lady Pollock took part in a concert with her son, Walter and Henry Dickens, reciting 'The Bridge of Sighs'.

Content Summary: He would like some stained glass like Rose's. If an artist were to call would Mrs Rose allow her maid to show the door glass as a guide for Irving's requirements? (Postscript:) Did Rose receive the Millard (?) letter?
Published: -
Notes: Irving probably called to see Rose's books (see Letters 9089-90) and was taken with the stained glass. "Millard" might possibly be "Willard" but the subject of the letter is unknown. 1874 is added in a different contemporary hand.
