Letter (1 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He sends the best act he has ever written, though not the strongest in the play. The remaining act will be much shorter. He will call in to see how Irving likes it. (Postscript:) Doesn't Irving think 'King René's Daughter' should have on bills "adapted and re-written"? |
| Published: |

| Notes: |
Wills refers to 'Rienzi'. A note in another hand reads: Iolanthe adapted and re-written by W.G. Wills from Henrick Herz's play 'King René's Daughter' . 'Iolanthe' opened on 20th May 1880. |

Letter (2 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He sends the last act - has obviated the gloom and it finishes with a beautifully drawn landscape. He thinks Irving will find it fresh and strong. The Prologue must inject more light and humour. He would like to come round to see Irving one evening that week. He is depressed not knowing if his work is satisfactory - a word or suggestion from Irving tells him he is on the right track and pleasing him. Success to the new venture. |

This may refer to 'Rienzi' but possibly to another of Wills' plays. |

Please send him that rosette and let him wear the colours for the correspondent's sake. He has also to return a five pound note from too long ago. He promised the lamp as a gift not a purchase. Do not be offended. |

With typewritten transcript. This very personal note may possibly be to Mrs Eleanor James. The only letter referring to the gift of a lamp is from Edwin Long. |
