Good luck for Monday night. He will be thinking of them all. He opened to a capital house the previous night. Write when Irving has settled down. He was in the theatre on Tuesday evening and was delighted with it. He saw the Grave scene and the last scene in 'Hamlet', both first rate. He wouldn't mind trying Hamlet himself if Miss Terry was his Ophelia. Good luck and good wishes. |
