Letter (2 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He sends the changes suggested by Irving - garden scene, Faust & Marguerite, Meph & Martha - substituted scene for the religious dialogue & change in prologue. The play is much improved. He is going to Paris for 10 days to finish a picture and will be back about when Irving has launched 'Romeo & Juliet' so they can go over the whole play carefully. If by then he is out of funds will Irving kindly make an advance? A small cheque to his London & Westminster Bank will keep him and his old mother going. Best wishes for new venture. |

Tell Irving he, his father and mother are there and would be pleased to see him any Sunday about 3.

Partly not in Hallam Tennyson's hand? And BS 25/1/82. Irving "has not the pen of a ready writer". |
