Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: He wants Marshall to write a preface of about 70 or 80 words for the edition of 'Hamlet' he means to publish for sale at the Lyceum. Irving's views are the same as his. Not about the character of Hamlet but more of the picturesqueness of the play, which he wishes to be carried out. Look at the tempting on the cliff, the business of Ophelia in the evening - he quotes from the play. The coming of Spring with brighter trees at the catastrophe - what they talked over in Manchester. He will be in Birmingham for a fortnight from Monday and if Marshall comes down for a night he will be glad to see him. (Postscript:) He asks about the progress of 'Emmet'. He has bought a good copy of Ben Jonson.

Notes: 'Hamlet' was to open at the Lyceum on 30th December. Marshall was writing a play about Robert Emmet for Irving. Note at head: Received 27th Nov.

Address: 10 Pelham Place, South Kensington, London(?)
Date: 1878, Nov., 27 
Document Type: Letter
Content Summary: It was kind of her to get him the patterns and he will ask her to get him some more from Paris as she suggested. Those sent are beautiful, but a little too small. He wants something bolder & which would show more velvet than silk. She will have heard of his great success in Glasgow, and he has been doing grand things everywhere. He has had a dreadful loss - poor dear "Trin" is dead - through a bone sticking in his chest, poor thing. He misses him very much. He is very busy - the time is drawing nigh and he wants to be back.

Notes: With envelope postmarked Sheffield; transcript in THM/37/1/18. The fabrics may have been for costumes for 'Hamlet'. Mrs James had been born in Paris. Trin died in Manchester.
