| Content Summary: |
He is allowed another trip to England to write sketches for the 'Tribune'. He will sail on the Paris on June 30 to reach Southampton July 7. His son Willie will be his companion. He hopes to see Irving and while in London obtain complete materials for his book on Irving's acting career. He will have a short stay mostly in the country and has thought of Ireland but does not know if it is practicable. Love to Nell [Ellen Terry]. Send a line to the Paris on arrival to know where he may find Irving. He supposes Irving has seen the special & general ambassadors. London must be in a wild state. The papers are full of the Jubilee. Bancroft's knighthood sounds strange. |

He thanks Irving for an invitation which work prevents him from accepting. He will re-read 'Manfred' which they discussed at Sir Wagner's(?) dinner. Everyone is pleased at the elevation of "My Lady Bancroft". He suggests reading Hamlet & the Gravedigger as cooling in the hot weather. |
