No critique of his Shylock satisfies her although all praise. They miss the magnificence of the Christians in his last act. There is a fair description of Portia in the Standard but slightly deficient in that they do not see the Venetian character. She was given cordial wishes from Delaunay for Irving's success and cordial ones from [Mounet] Sully who was delighted with Irving's letter and preserved the envelope! Sully's sitting-room is a bit like Irving's. They had a jolly time in Paris and she feels strong. They called but Irving was out. |

| Content Summary: |
He comments on Shylock's Act 3 speech about Christians, Jews and revenge.Though Shylock is angry he should use sarcasm and reserve real rage until the climax. This seems particuarly adapted to Irving's power and he hopes to see the Venetian gentry silenced by it the next time he comes. 'The Times' criticism was foolish and below contempt. He tells an anecdote of his father, the Prince of Wales and a Frenchman. |

He congratulates Irving on the Saturday performance. He was delighted with his Shylock and thought the trial scene the most perfect Irving had yet given them. Ellen Terry was admirable and the ensemble worthy of Irving -high praise. His wife has had bronchitis so surrendered her stall to Daddy[?]. But she is anxious to come so could Irving give her a Box for Saturday night from which she could escape if the cough came on. |
