| Content Summary: |
He is told Irving thinks his criticism of 'Richard III' implies the same of Irving as it did of [Edmund] Kean. He denies this or that the article has been so interpreted. Irving has not that reputation and underrates his immunity. Irving estimates Shaw's work too cheaply. He is the most difficult subject for a critic, and particularly for an author-critic. Shaw still stands by his article, particularly the parts about Shakespeare. |

L. Irving, p.604; Shaw, Collected letters, Vol.I, p.751. |
| Notes: |
Irving's friends had interpreted Shaw's criticism of 'Richard III' in 'The Saturday Review' as implying that Irving was drunk, as was sometimes the case with Edmund Kean. |

He has finished his play 'Madame de Lavalette' which Réjane will act after Sardou's new play. It is in 5 acts with one in the Tuileries with Louis XVIII. Ellen Terry would find Madame worthy of her and Irving Monsieur Lavalette. Where should he send the play which Irving must read? Write to his new Paris address. Irving's reply will find him at Cannes where he goes for a few months convalescence. At same time would Irving send news of himself and 'Madame Sans- Gêne' for which he has not thanked Irving for the bulletins. He is anxious for a new collaboration. |
