A Beckett proposes too hard a task. The manysidedness of Napoleon overwhelms him and he has not enough time to deal with an article. He hopes A Beckett will come again to see it quietly, free from the unpleasant surroundings of a first night. |
| Published: |
Reprinted in an article by A Beckett in The Morning Post. |
| Notes: |
The answer to a request in Letter 50. Irving played Napoleon in 'Madame Sans Gêne' and had done considerable research. |
