Content Summary: He is just home after a fortnight in Paris with John Hollingshead whom he loves because he is so wicked. He never went to the theatre but against doctors' orders wrote an article about H.B. Irving's book, for 'The World'. Needless to say he has mangled him! May they have a box for 'Coriolanus' and will they sup together afterwards? Acting is out of date in Paris and Paris Sundays are worse than London. Give Ellen Terry the enclosed - just found in an old box, and tell her to burn it. He muses about when they were all so much younger than the new lot can ever be. (Postscript:) Darbyshire - another infant - has been writing a good deal to Merivale about Irving and some of the other boys.
