Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
The papers Irving has sent should reassure him. He is well but busy rehearsing. The critics are divided over 'Fanchette' but the public likes it. The theatre is comfortable and he and Flo[rence] like their new quarters. Is his father all right for money? He needs £20 on Saturday for rent and insurance and has postponed his remittance. The boy is splendid and will soon walk. He has heard the Webbs were destitute, which is sad despite their shortcomings. Poor Montgomery - suicide has been assigned for his act which all think was due to insanity. No news. London is not full and all talk is of the Camp and sham fighting. Love to his aunt. (P.s) Has his father heard from Mrs Bowen? |
| Published: |
L. Irving, p.186 (extract). |
| Notes: |
The Webbs are probably Charles & Henry, actors and managers at the Queen's Theatre in Dublin. The sham fighting probably refers to the Army manoeuvres at Chobham Camp. A typewritten transcript is in THM/37/1/11. |

He can't meet because of a rehearsal. She must make her own appointment for Friday - he is unable to say whether he can keep it. Weston's daughter is on the look-out for something in Putney. |

| Notes: |
This seems to refer to Letters 1813-14. Was Florence considering moving again? Irving was probably rehearsing 'Pickwick'. |
