Author: Wills, William Gorman >>
Address: Garrick Club
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: [1882?] 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: He sends the complete acts which Irving's copyist can copy into the act he has. Feeling the difficulty of removing the grand set in Act 1 of German town and Cathedral with streets, when followed by set of Marguerite's room he has sent a tavern scene on approval - if adopted by Irving he must write a few lines at end of first scene to connect it. He thinks he has done a good job and there has never been a difficulty about terms as Irving has been most liberal. Wills would like to hear from him on the subject. He expects a great treat on Wednesday.
Published: L. Irving, p.461 (in part).
Notes: 'Faust' in compostion. The Wednesday treat may be the first night of 'Much Ado About Nothing' on 11th October 1882, but might possibly be 'Romeo and Juliet' on 8th March.
