Thanks for the kind invitation. At present neither of them is well. They fled from the Russian furor in Paris - no doubt the reception of the Czar & Czarina was an improving sight but they saw enough of the background preparations. The French know how to do things better than English state functionaries. |

Letter (8 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
A note from her friend Hamilton Aidé informs her that Irving has been pressed for an interview. His letter of 6th October offered to answer questions. These are: 1. When did he take personal control of the Lyceum? 2. When and why did he recreate Shakespeare since the Kean revival did not endure? 3. Did Irving first revive the original Richard III text? 4. How does he interpret the scenes between Richard III and Anne? The 'Revue de Famille' wishes for an article by Irving or a translation from his last work in the '19th [Nineteenth] Century'. She mentions his two columns in 'Le Temps'. |
