He would be glad to know on what day in every week it will be convenient to her for him to have the children. He would also be glad that on the day they come to him they do not go to school. At their ages school should be but pastime, so there could be no interference with anything important. The last time poor little Harry came to him he was fagged to death as he'd been at school in the morning. |

Partial typewritten transcript. It seems likely that the date has been wrongly transcribed as in 1872 Harry was only two and Laurence one. |

Letter (3 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He has received a letter from Salvini who wishes to give a bust of Shakespeare to the Club. Salvini would like Browning to present it, but as Irving instigated it at the dinner and is President would he find out from the Secretary whether a formal presentation is required. Congratulations on Irving's recent success. |

| Notes: |
Salvini was in London from April to July 1875. Irving's play is probably 'Macbeth' which opened on 25th September. Letter 3693 refers to a presentation to the Garrick Club, and although Irving was not President, Salvini may have misunderstood his position. |
