Thanks Irving for his note. If he is going to look in at the performance next Thursday would he mind taking a note or two and send a few words by way of report to the RCM Council? This need not be about the musical aspect but perhaps about elocution, acting or action which will be all that is required. It is very late in the day to find someone else. |

He thanks Irving for the box the previous night. He enjoyed the play even more than the first time and admired some clever scenes. He hopes the book will be published. He praises Irving's performance as Peter and the pathos of his terrible struggle between affections and duty. He is sorry to read that day that it is coming off on Feb. 12th and criticises the public. A considerable number praise Laurence's talent and Irving's producing his play. |

| Content Summary: |
Thanks Irving for his telegram of enquiry. He can get into his studio again but his leg is still painful and he was cut about the head. Two days before he had the pleasure of seeing Irving in 'Peter the Great' ; a grand conception. Henry Arthur Jones was next to him and equally delighted. The public judgment is to be deplored. Could his wife and eldest children have seats for Tuesday? |
