If his wife is no worse he will be pleased to see Irving on Saturday night with his daughter & mother-in-law. He will be with Irving on Tuesday at 12 o'clock at the theatre, and thinks it a good idea to try it alone. He thanks Irving for his sympathy. He had heard from several sources that the 'World' stated their arrangement was off and he is to return to America. He has told Miller to contradict it. |

| Content Summary: |
He has not enjoyed artistically anything as much as that evening. He is not going in to the (?) afterpiece but the scenery, stage management, grouping and acting are better than anything yet done. This gives him hopes he may help in producing his greatest desire -'Romeo and Juliet', and knowing Irving's desire for perfection he feels a magnificent treat is in store. Many managers have tried... but Irving has shown he can bring it off. |

| Notes: |
Thompson may be referring to the highly praised staging of 'The Cup' which from April 1881 was followed by 'The Belle's Stratagem'. Brereton and L. Irving both describe Thompson as designing costumes for 'Romeo and Juliet' which opened on 8th March 1882, but Stoker says none of his designs were used. |

| Content Summary: |
She managed to get to the Belle['s Stratagem] the previous night despite the cold. It is pretty and well acted throughout, the Sedan Chair almost as much a feature as the Corsican. Miss Terry has improved in finish in her comedy since she first saw her in the comic part of Portia. She hopes they can talk when he has more leisure, and meanwhile sends the Chronicle not for the criticism, but the marked passage he may have missed. Return it as she has to put it with the records put together by Mrs Brown. |
