He wants to find a lyre of classic type for a drawing. Tadema thought Miss Terry had used one in 'The Cup', and if it is among Lyceum properties he would like to borrow it for a few days. He assumes it would be correct if it exists. Let him know and he will send for it. |

She has just had an interview with Sardou which was most encouraging. He is preparing papers to send to Sir George Lewis. He has even gone so far as to say he will attend the final rehearsals and first performance! She lists in detail contractual terms which she thinks easy. |

This is probably for 'Robespierre' but might also possibly relate to 'Dante' in 1902. Sir George Lewis was Irving's solicitor. |

Thanks Irving for the souvenir of 'Madame Sans-Gêne' highly commending the illustrations. He asks him to tell Stoker he has read 'Dracula', reminding him of seeing Boucicault in his play 'The Vampire' at the Prince of Wales Theatre, and praising the book. Next month he will send Pt I of his lecture on 'Puffing' from the August 'Common Sense' based on an 1867 essay he sent Charles Dickens, which was acknowledged in a letter which he transcribes ... |

| Content Summary: |
Thanks for letting "his people" see the play. Long discussion on the thrush in Autolycus' song in 'The Winter's Tale' (Act 4, Scene 2). Thrush has short phrase of 2 to 3 notes referred to in 'With heigh, with heigh, the thrush and the jay'. Tennyson uses same beat in 'The Throstle'. 'I knew it, I knew it, Life again'. This expresses the madness of the song. Would be grateful for a line from Irving on the subject only if he has time. |

| Notes: |
Grove describes his people as "sans gène" which suggests the play may be 'Madame Sans-Gêne'. 'The Winter's Tale' was not performed in London in the 1890s. |
