| Content Summary: |
Thanks for his father's beautiful and magnificent additions. The staggering Synorix is very fine - awful and grim. Other scenes are splendid and will be of great use. Suggests after 12th line on page 47 that a line is added such as 'Beside the temple - now a year ago'. He doesn't think Hallam will like this - he can see him laughing but he needs to bring the audience back to the place and time of the first Act. An audience needs a lap spoon. |

He wants to hear about his comedietta. If it suits them, except for the satire on the Chaucer Society, he could alter it to any literary society. He likes the dialogue and would like another play performed at the Lyceum where 'A March Hare Hunt' went well for 80 nights. His skill has progressed with dramatic art. |

'A March Hare Hunt' was played at the Lyceum in 1877. The new play was 'A Lover's Tale'. |

| Content Summary: |
His father has lengthened the talk between Sinnatus & Camma after the departure of Synorix as Irving wished but thinks the scene seems a little overweighted + Irving may omit portions as he pleases. Tennyson feels the sarcasm is actable enough. He is thrilled that the amplification of Synorix's speech p.48 is a great improvement. (Postscript:) His father put in brackets what might be omitted. |

'The Cup', first performed on 3 January 1881. The letter includes passages signed by Alfred Tennyson. |
