He cannot manage to see Irving while he is in Boston as he soon has to go to New York and Virginia. He has not yet escaped from the greatness of Irving's Robespierre. He will tell the next generation that they should have seen Irving, and continues to praise Irving and also Ellen Terry. He remarks how she takes hold of life, and is enchanted by her genius. It is not justification but admiration which prompts the note. |
