Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He is a boy of 14 and strongly inclined to the stage, which his parents oppose. He has studied all aspects of an actor's life, is fond of acting and has taken part in amateur theatricals in Worcester in chief parts as he is tall with an exceptional voice. He is determined on a professional career, has studied all of Shakespeare and practises in lonely spots and in a hall with a friend to judge. He knows he must begin at the bottom but can't see how and asks Irving's advice. He is distantly connected to Irving through Dorothea Baird who is cousin to the Brinton's at Stourport who are his 2nd cousins. Can Irving advise how to start his career and what he must do to be great, and how he could help himself in the meantime. |

| Content Summary: |
He blesses Burnand for his good wishes, particularly coming from an old man to a young one. He thinks Burnand may have had a better time and his old age may have more to it. Burnand can go on writing while the brain lasts, but the poor old "ponger's" is limited by bodily activity. He corrects his date of birth as '38. Love and good wishes to Lady Burnand and all. |

L. Irving, p.657. |
| Notes: |
Burnand was 2 years older than Irving. L. Irving states that this is the last letter from Irving to Burnand. A typewritten transcript is in DUL Add. Ms. 832/28.
