Duplicated manuscript in purple ink, probably not in Stoker's hand but signed by him. These press releases were sent to editors, Fitzgerald's copy probably to 'The Westminster Review'. |

| Content Summary: |
He thanks Irving for the previous night's treat and for his Shylock, quoting Pope on Macklin "this is the Jew that Shakespeare drew". Both Irving and Ellen Terry were magnificent but he does think that while Irving's face was Jewish his hands and arms were Christian. What a touching ending to Act 3 when Shylock comes home to find his daughter gone. He hopes Irving will enjoy his holiday and they may all meet in December. |

| Content Summary: |
She has had legal business in London - nothing pleasant and they have come there with a large and noisy lot of trippers on whom she comments unfavourably. She is keeping 31st disengaged. She refers to Sir Robert and her two sisters and describes the tall ships passing the Nore light, but not the Walrus. With the tide up it is pretty and she longs to feel the movement of the water. |
