Letter (3 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He is delighted Lord Lytton is coming the next night as no one better appreciates the difficulties Irving has to contend with. Over a Shakespearian production the hypercritical are greatly to the fore, and Irving wonders if they realise that the company could suggest innumerable faults even they do not detect. He hopes Lady Lytton will use the enclosed [tickets] on Thursday evening. |

He has received Irving's letter and Lady Lytton joins him in thanks for Irving's generous response. Irving is correct not only about his own art which is little understood, but every form of serious human effort decried by those who can't and won't. He looks forward to the evening. (Postscript) He reopened the letter to apologize for the delay caused by his servant's oversight. |
