| Content Summary: |
When Laurence writes to John Hollingshead he is to say Irving asked him to, and give a time when his two protegées might call to see Laurence & Carr. He has much faith in Miss Terry's instinct about a scene but her opinion of the 4th Act is appalling. She writes that she cannot imagine why it is in the play and calls it long-winded, tiring with shouting down cries, &c. which she feels are not wanted. Irving thinks the play tumbles to pieces without it, and it might be effective. Ellen Terry is right about the noise - it is impossible to speak through shouting- carts & all as they found out in 'Peter'. It would be better to have people passing near & not under the window. (Postscript:) Brereton will write to Laurence about Miss Foster(?). He would like her engaged. |

'Robespierre' is at the casting stage. No Miss Foster/Forester appeared in the play. John Hollingshead's address is given as Primrose Club, Park Place, St James's. |

He sends 15 designs for 'Robespierre' which Sardou has seen and approved. He will send the rest soon because he has been delayed by the amount of research he has had to do in libraries. The designs are not in order because they have depended on the documents he has found. Will Irving confirm their arrival. He sends best wishes to Irving and his son. |
