| Content Summary: |
A magnificent performance in 'The Cup'. Hypercriticism may attack the double poisoning but he rejects it. Synorix is comparable to Aegisthus, Camma to Clytemnestra and Tennyson to Aeschylus. Sala will see him at the end of the week - Irving knows where. |
| Published: |
- |
| Notes: |
Comparison is with the 'Agamemnon' of Aeschylus. Irving played Synorix and Ellen Terry Camma. 'The Cup' opened on 3rd January 1881, and Sala has forgotten the changed year. |

Letter (11 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Detailed high praise of 'The Cup'. Tennyson should be proud to be so interpreted, but it should be played before 'The Corsican Brothers'. Irving is incomparable and the trying preparation must be repaid by the enormous success. Irving has raised and revolutionised the modern stage. They were well repaid for rushing back. |

| Content Summary: |
His transactions with Mrs Charles Kean were of a most simple and straightforward character. She gave Irving sole rights of acting 'The Corsican Brothers' for a run for £20 a month and Irving paid Mrs Kean an advance two months' fees whenever it might be acted. Irving has instructed Stoker to pay Logie on 18th £40 in advance for two months' fees and so on until the play is withdrawn. |

A handwritten copy only, with another later copy repeating much of the information apparently dated 27th April 1891. See Irving's correspondence with Mrs Kean. |
