Sending a play ('Rachel' by Lord Lytton). The part of Eleazer(?) would fit Irving like a glove. Please send his reaction so she can tell Lady Lytton. Recommends Lope de Vega, Calderon de la Barca 'the Shakespeare of Spain'. Tony (de Navarro), her husband, also recommends modern Spanish playwrights and will prepare some scenarios. Pleasure to meet Irving recently out of 'war paint' and to know him better. |

| Content Summary: |
A good rattling melodrama which ought to do well and be a joy to the unsophisticated. Did Laurence say he had read Waliszewski's Peter? If not he will send it. He hopes to see him the next day. |
| Published: |
L. Irving, The Precarious Crust, p.24 (in part) |
| Notes: |
The melodrama is said to refer to Laurence's play 'Richard Lovelace', first performed in Bath in July 1898. Kazimierz Waliszewski's book on Peter the Great was first published in English in 1897. Laurence's play 'Peter the Great' was said to be well advanced by early summer. |
