Great praise for Irving's performance. Don't tell the author but she wants to act with Irving before she dies and would love to play Alexis. Sir William Harcourt was with her and was delighted, too. |

| Content Summary: |
He came to see his father that day but he was resting. Irving's performance was grand and made an overpowering impression on the audience. Laurence is full of admiration and gratitude. He hopes the play won't require much cutting as he is fond of it and miutes can be saved by closer playing. He knows from his performance that Irving loves the play. He won't come to the next day's rehearsal unless invited - let him have a note. Best line "My father is great. I am proud to be his son". |

Hand delivered envelope dated by Stoker 2 Jan 1899, but this seems unlikely as Irving was convalescing in Bournemouth then, and an opera company occupying the Lyceum. If 1898 'Peter the Great' had just opened. |
