| Content Summary: |
Thanks for hospitality and afternoon visit to 'Madame Sans-Gene'. Irving's Napoleon is truly wonderful. As a Frenchman he forgot Irving was speaking English and thought the real Napoleon was before him in his smallness and greatness. Theatrical art can go no further. Praises Ellen Terry above Sarah Bernhardt because of her range and compares Terry with Ristori. Occupied same box as when he saw 'Charles I' 25 years before with his old pupil, the Prince Imperial. Good old Bateman spoke to them with beaming face and gold buttons and was grandiloquent. |

Note attached which gives incorrect date of letter as 1872, which is a reference to 'Charles I' mentioned in letter. |
