He sends cheque to Box Office. He gives their reactions to the previous night when they did not go on stage afterwards. He had not been so satisfied since 'Becket' and wishes to congratulate Irving personally. He praises his dignity, intellect, power and feeling in the old grand style, both noble and convincing. Stoker won't misunderstand Parker's enthusiasm - Irving is one of the few great men left! |

| Content Summary: |
He asks for a box for Irving's first matinée of 'Coriolanus'. He fears Irving may have shortened the play too much. He is told that Irving's physical means do not suit the part, but why does everyone associate Coriolanus with a George Rignold or a Buffalo Bill. He was probably a very small man. Merivale is working hard through necessity - he lists an adaptation written in six days for Mrs Langtry, two book talks, a poem, essay, short story, etc. and he has bronchitis and influenza. Such is life at 62. Will Irving give his love to Ellen Terry and her sister - he thinks so much about Ellen Terry. |
