She has had a long letter from Sardou. He will not be able to finish 'Robespierre' until late spring. He is rehearsing 'Pamela' for Réjane which has been delayed. Miss Marbury will spend early summer with Sardou to ensure every detail of 'Robespierre', costume, scenery, props. She hopes Irving is well and that 'Peter the Great' is a strong attraction. She asks about young de Wolfe who will reach London the first week in January. |

Doyle is being approached from many quarters. He has first to think of chance of early production. Irving is full up, isn't he? One by Traill and Hichens and another by - who was it? Here's a year on end for the Lyceum and America (for which Doyle is half pledged by the way) on top of that. |

Letter (5 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Condolences on the death of Fussy [Fussie], Irving's dog. Princess Louise wishes also to say how she feels for Irving. Forbes-Robertson is played out for the time - not impressed - a gentlemanly Hamlet but little vigour or distinction. Mrs Pat Campbell painfully modern! |

| Notes: |
Fussie was killed by falling through a trap door in Manchester the previous week. Forbes Robertson played 'Hamlet' at the Lyceum from 11th September - 18th December 1897. |
