Letter (3 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He owes two pleasant evenings the previous week to Irving. Irving does things well and deserves his success. "The Bard" (not he of Avon) is not a comic author, but interesting. He will attempt to call the next day (Wednesday) at Irving's lodgings unless he has a morning performance. If they don't meet then, they will not until he has completed his tragedy. |

| Notes: |
He possibly refers to Tennyson's 'The Cup' at the Lyceum. At the end of the letter is a note in Irving's or another hand: "- what sense had it?" The tragedy may be 'Edgar and Lucy', the first version of 'Ravenswood'. See Letter 2398. |
