Date: 1873, April, 22 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: Just been reading 'The Times' criticism of 'Eugene Aram'- greatly pleased. Comments on Irving's good fortune in meeting 'Colonel' Bateman and discovering Wills, and how they all work together. From Oxenford's notice there is only one fault in the play - Eugene's suffering comes from without rather than within. In that one respect 'The Bells' was better etc. Bateman and Irving are helping each other to greatness. Asks to be remembered to friends at Lyceum. He is writing a comedy for Mrs John Wood.
