Date: 1881, Dec., 22

Content Summary: Stoker and Hurst have written about Monday, but it is Boxing Day and devoted to pantomime, at Drury Lane especially. He jokes about 'Two Roses' as a pantomime, referring to David James and suggesting Mrs Langtry as Columbine. He does not expect Irving will speak, but will let him know about 'The Colonel'. He wishes 'Two Roses' success but would prefer "more art".

Notes: The answer to Letter 1014. 26th December was the first night of the light comedy 'Two Roses'. Burnand presumably always took his young daughters to the pantomime.
