Letter |
| Content Summary: |
He writes to correct a false impression about Salvini's morning performance. He had requested a box for the first morning performance from Messrs Lacon & Ollier before one was announced. When he was unable to meet Salvini, he wrote to him about the general desire to see him act and received a courteous reply. Salvini would not misunderstand the omission of his name from the round-robin request. |

| Notes: |
A press cutting. This concerns a theatrical performance for other actors. Irving's failure to sign the later round-robin was imputed to jealousy. L. Irving mentions this letter on p.252. |

| Content Summary: |
He returns the comedy which is full of beauty, strength & effect. However it is beyond the scope of the Lyceum company. Irving would allow Mr [John] Hare to read it. He will return the mss. before the end of the week. |

| Notes: |
This is almost certainly the reply to Letter 2169. Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton's comedy 'The House of Darnley', revised by Charles F. Coghlan, was eventually produced at the Court Theatre, managed by John Hare, on 6/10/1877. |
