He is looking forward to that night and to meeting Delaunay who was his first love as an actor. In him Irving saw the Romeo of his dreams; he is the surest artist he ever saw. He hopes he will like 'poor Hamlet'. He is sorry they cannot talk together but she must tell him what Delaunay says. He wishes she would come to see 'Eugene Aram'. Ophelia [Ellen Terry] is again most beautiful as Ruth. |

Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Irving's Eugene Aram is so sad it has laden her heart with grief. She thanks him but is dulled with crying. (Postscript:) She liked to hear Irving play - someday they may play duets together. She has missed her brother since his second unfortunate marriage as they would play for hours together. |
| Published: |

| Notes: |
Irving played the piano in 'Eugene Aram' but the sound was provided by a pianist in the wings. Addressed: Dear Stricken Heart. Her brother is possibly the Geoffrey Taylor who later played small parts at the Lyceum. |
