Letter |
| Content Summary: |
He hopes Irving is enjoying himself and is well. He wants to play 'Othello' with Irving the next year (don't laugh). Shall he study it up and will Irving do it with him on tour? Say yes and lighten his drooping heart. |
| Published: |
E.Terry, Life p.227-28; Memoirs, p.174. |
| Notes: |
Terriss played Cassio during 1881 with Irving and Edwin Booth alternating Iago and Othello. Ellen Terry published the letter to demonstrate his impudence. He almost always addressed Irving as "My dear Guv". |
