| Content Summary: |
He praises Irving's Shylock which was a revelation. He saw Phelps, [Charles] Kean, &c. and their representations now seem distorted exaggerations. For the first time Shylock is not a monster but a human spoiled by baleful passion. He also praises the quality of Irving's audience - all in thoughtful appreciation. |

Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
She praises Irving's 'Merchant of Venice' and his Shylock. In her 63 years connection with the stage she has seen and acted with all the celebrated actors but not a real Shylock before. She praises the Tubal and trial scenes and Ellen Terry's charming light-comedy Portia which she thought lacked force in the trial scene, and other actors. She and her late husband had lived in France and knew Talma intimately and Irving would have admired him. She is forced to write with left hand because of gout, but again thanks Irving for Saturday's pleasure. |
