Author: Wills, William Gorman >>
Address: -
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: [1882], [March?] 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: He sends the MS. changed except for placing the Chamber scene in the garden where he feels necessary cuts he details would lose sentiment and humour. To make the scene practicable a flat scene would be needed but Irving knows his resources. If he wishes the change of chamber to garden Wills can do it with a few alterations. The effect in the opera is not good when the jewels are laid in a chair in the garden. He hopes Irving has a pleasant day in Brighton - Wills has just returned from 3 days there. He would welcome another payment as his debts have almost absorbed the last. Can he have a dress circle to see 1st Act of Romeo & Juliet.
