He lists the other amendments with page references. He asks for confirmation of the ending of the play. Is there a dress rehearsal other than Xmas Eve?

| Content Summary: |
Wishes he could be "with you and yours" but no peace in store for him just yet. Discusses his role as Synorix in 'The Cup'. Thinks there will be a fine effect after Synorix tries to laugh away his [?] "'This all too happy day". Could greatly increase the effect by addition of one more line of half drunken joy before "This all too happy day" so that leaning on Publius' arm he tries to jest away his pain and leaving him almost [?] up to the altar with 'Crown Queen!' when he is struck like Ascanius. In great haste. P.S. Is it "So ends" or "So end" all passions'? |

As Irving wishes they give a matinee and she sends him a box. If he is bored it is his own fault for wishing to see the badly translated 'Adrienne'. She is indebted to him for his visit the previous Sunday, and she takes pleasure in fancying he is still there. |

He is in Florence after a long stay in Rome. Will Irving look up a few sitters for him - children and women - work in pastel - charge only £10-10. He is forced to do this because of dramatic failures, long illness of his mother. He is low in funds and anxious about the coming season. He has painted members of the Royal Family in pastel and that is an advertisement. (Postscript:) He has stood by Rienzi's house in Rome - now a mis-shapen mass. |

On mourning paper perhaps after the death of his brother (see Letter 4362), but possibly dated after the death of his mother in 1887? |
