Content Summary: He got the story from 'The Graphic' in confidence and forwards it to give an idea of the 2 chief characters although he has kept closer to history than he will in the play and it does not express the dramatic possibilities. Please also remember his 'Revolted Daughter'. Good wishes for 'Richard III'. P.S. (written up the side) The pulls of Solomon J. Solomon's illustrations are not yet ready but he hopes to send them to Irving.

Notes: HI regrets 13/2/97. See Letter 8337. 'The Revolted Daughter' was performed in 1901, but no listed play seems to relate to 'The Turkish Marriage' story.

Content Summary: He is sure the case is a sad one but he has just had the same sort of letter from the same lady. Ellen Terry has also often assisted her and says she is an impossible person and most difficult to shake off. If Scott will say that the three of them (giving names) give this money it will relieve him as he intends to excuse himself. (Postscript:) He will be anxious to know the report of Scott's friend into the true state of affairs.
