He has now a splendid scenario of 'Rienzi' - a new and original play, historically accurate. When would Irving like to hear it? Friday or Saturday would suit him. He has also written several passages but until the plot is approved cannot go on. He would have finished long before but circumstances made him take ready money jobs in which he had little interest. He has two plays coming on that season - at the Adelphi and the Dukes. (Postscript:) He saw 'The Merchant' from the pit and was delighted. Congratulations. |

Wills' plays: 'Forced from Home' at the Duke's 2/2/80, and 'Ninon' at the Adelphi 7/2/80. |

He has seen a scurrilous letter from Charles Milward in London saying he abused Irving. Some members of the New York press are unscrupulous. Many distinguished people in America admire Irving's talents and would welcome him there. Would Irving send this letter to the press. |

| Content Summary: |
He thanks Irving for reserving a box for him for Thursday evening. He will be delighted to sup after the play and discuss business. Tennyson's new play is a sad failure. Though a great poet he will never be a dramatist and only Irving's hand could have retrieved his previous dramatic experiments. (Postscript) Will Irving send the number of the box to 5 Bryanston Square to anticipate his arrival there. |

Irving's first Tennyson productions were 'Queen Mary' and 'The Cup' in 1881. 'The Falcon' had been produced at the St James's Theatre on 18th December 1879. Lytton's box was for 'The Merchant of Venice'. Two addresses and "St James's" pencilled on blank p.4.
