Date: 1872, Feb., 3 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: Received Irving's note this morning and can only imagine he has been subject of a practical joke. A young man calling himself Irving's brother called at Pettie's house on Thursday afternoon with enclosed letter addressed to Pettie. He was more readily induced to promise to appear at the theatre as he had heard from his friend, Mr [James] Archer, recently about the portrait of Irving he is to paint. He hopes Irving will now feel less puzzled than he does.

Notes: The enclosed letter is not present. Archer's portrait of Irving as Charles I? It is possible that the young man was Edward Aveling. See Letters 178, 179, 182, 1562 where the impersonation is said to have begun in Manchester.

Address: 21, St. John's Wood, NW
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: 1872, Feb., [5?] Monday
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: Has obtained from Mr McWhirter and encloses the identical address given by the hair-brained young man. He hopes Irving will give him a severe lesson, if the address is not imaginary. He is ashamed of his own simplicity which must have caused Irving annoyance, but hopes Irving will treat the matter lighly. P.S. The young scamp had a sense of humour as on the evening he brought the letter he followed Pettie to the house of a friend and made himself thoroughly at home!
