Content Summary: He is going to Sandringham from Monday 19th to Friday and asks Irving to return the copy of his father's play 'Brutus' before 19th. He has little time in England and is busy. If Irving would like to see the other play 'The Captives' he could have it when returning the 'Brutus' until Lytton returns from Sandringham. Mr Bandmann (not a Talma) wrote last year that he would have preferred the chief part in 'The Captives' to that in 'The Rightful Heir'. He presumes from Irving's silence that he will not produce 'Brutus'.

Author: Pollock, Sir William Frederick >>
Address: 59, Montagu Square, W.
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: 1875, April, 18 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: If Irving sees an article in the 'Quarterly Review' about Macready's Reminiscences he would like him to know it is by Mr Theodore Martin. It is indignant and treacherous with an obvious motive for revenge as Helen Faucit is not glorified in the book. Pollock cannot understand such baseness and unfair criticism. All other critics have been appreciative of his editing which reveals both light and shadows. Macready's book will live. He wants Irving to meet Matthew Arnold who has seconded Irving's name for the Athenaeum. Let them know when he can come. He and Lady Pollock thank Irving for his kindness to Walter over his forthcoming lectures. P.S. Lady Pollock has had letter from the Dickens family about the Macready book.
Published:
Notes: W.C. Macready's Reminiscences; ed. Sir Frederick Pollock, 2 vols, 1875. His son Walter gave lectures on theatrical subjects; see also Letter 8158. Irving was not elected to the Athenaeum until 1882 (see Letter 2553),
