| Content Summary: |
They went to G[eorge] Lewis' party the night before but Irving was not present. She is looking forward to 'Othello' - will Irving play Iago or Othello first? She has seen Edwin Booth in both. She hopes it is Iago first for Irving and explains why. Booth plays Othello like an elocution master and even his Lear is dry bones. The public is dull and stupid. Will Irving be at Mrs Stewart's lunch on Thursday? If he comes will he bring his little book to fix a Sunday date? Talk it over with Frank. |

Congratulations on 'The Cup'. He has seen the best productions but never anything comparable to this realisation. Finely acted, perfectly dressed and the best scenery he has seen. 'The Corsican Brothers' which he had seen under Charles Kean, is also admirable, but he thinks the ghost might be better. Tennyson's play is a fine stirring tragedy. |

Has great wish to see 'The Cup' the next night as she does not like going in Lent. Could she go in the stalls? She is in Irving's debt for the last Box - would they tell her from the office what it cost? |
