He encloses the other half [of the £5 note] and asks for acknowledgement. Bateman did a delightful thing the previous night and gave Irving a magnificent watch & chain - the finest money can procure. What a nice Xmas present! He quotes the inscription inside. 'Cromwell' at the Queen's Theatre the previous night was a dreadful failure - another feather in their cap. Good-bye and God bless them all. |
| Published: |
L. Irving, p.225 (in part). |
| Notes: |
The inscription reads: "Henry Irving/an outward visible sign/of the/inward spiritual affection/and esteem of his/Friend/H.L. Bateman/Xmas 1872". With 2 typewritten versions. |

| Content Summary: |
He has at last pitched his tent-bedstead. After agonies of doubt and despair he took some empty rooms and is fitting them up. He is finding it quite exciting. The attendance is admirable and a great comfort. He will be bold like Cromwell, to suggest that instead of studs she give him an easy chair or a lounge? Not a usual remembrance but they'll invent a new method. He wishes he had known she was at the Lyceum on Saturday. Was it an influence? He thought he acted better despite a dull audience. She should not have gone alone. |

He would like to see dear old Simpson's ms. as he knows nothing about the plot which he is prepared to accept as long as the construction is approved by Mr Bateman and Irving. Wills must do the dialogue. Simpson has told Sandys, Jervis &c.

Marked: Strictly private. The play is unidentified but this is probably John Palgrave Simpson. His play 'Alone' in 1873 was written jointly with H.C. Merivale. |
