As we do not see the women drag Camma into the temple Irving says what is described "The doors are open'd - the women drag her in" or something like and he would like one more line to impress that she has found refuge and escaped him. "These Romans dare not violate the temple" would be just the thing - but that comes in splendidly where it is. Why cannot we repeat a good thing? |

| Content Summary: |
He thanks Tennyson as every alteration he has made has been most valuable. He wishes they were nearer, to avoid his boring letters. The next day he will try Tennyson's suggestions in many ways. The falling back of Synorix as if in fear of Camma's pressing towards him is very fine and he will try it although arranged differently at present. The work is a labour of love to him and if Tennyson gets a little of the satisfaction and delight that have been Irving's share, Tennyson will be repaid. Ellen Terry is getting very comfortable and easy in work new to her and the first grand character she has attempted. Will Tennyson send a copy of the play to Pigott, or send through Irving? Irving is supposed to obtain the licence. |

She found the interesting Memoirs of Corsica when she opened her papers at St Leonards. She prizes it very much and it brings back memories of when Irving's gifts gave much pleasure and interest to Mrs Brown who is still in her mind.... The Gordons and the Keppels are there and they are all waiting to ring Irving's Christmas Bells of good wishes when he arrives, in anticipation of his season. (Postscript) They come up on Monday to stay. |

| Notes: |
'Memoirs of Corsica' is the title of a work by Frederic Neuhoff published in London in 1768, the same year as James Boswell's better known account but it is not known if this was Irving's gift, described as pretty and nice. |
