He is greatly obliged for the reference in Salaman's work 'Jews as they are' and especially for the passage about Shylock. He will study with pleasure the views of a writer who has given the subject so much thought and has such facilities for accurate interpretation. He is gratified by Salaman's comments about himself and hopes always to merit his favourable judgment. |

[1882], May, 12 |
| Document Type: |
Letter (3 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He introduces W.W. Winter of the N.Y. Daily Tribune, distinguished as a critic for his imprudent honesty... an ardent lover of fine things. Irving may safely invest some of his leisure in Winter. Boucicault has hoped to see Irving act there that year but can tell him that the next year might be profitable in many ways. |

| Notes: |
The letter was presumably brought to London by William Winter, who was also introduced to Irving by Edwin Booth in London in July 1882. |
