He was pleased to find on the whole Irving liked the alterations, but not the love scene in the garden, which he thought suggested R &J. This was unconscious but love at first sight might lead one to Shakespeare. He will correct this with Faust perhaps more the patron. Wills will try to be back for the first night of Romeo & Juliet which he will witness with interest. His branch of the London & Westminster Bank is 1 St James Square and whenever Irving pays in something for him he will be glad. His Garrick Club subscription is due. Sympathy and best wishes. (Postscript:) Wills leaves for Paris on Thursday. |
