Has returned from abroad and is busy. Could Irving dine on 29th October or 5th November? Wishes he could get good article on theatrical affairs as Russell has disappointed him as the only thing he could suggest was Morris's book, already popular enough. (Don't tell Russell). Perhaps Irving can suggest something? He praises the new scenery |

| Notes: |
Russell - probably Edward Russell. The book is 'Essays on theatrical criticism', 1882, by M.W. Morris, dramatic critic of 'The Times'. |

Letter (8 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Irving has said his only free day is Sunday. On Sunday 29th they will have friends staying at Knebworth for a week after the Hatfield Ball. He gives details of trains to Stevenage or Hitchin for Irving to stay the night. On reflection he praises Irving's Benedick highly in mixing dignity and humour, and making the character sympathetic, particularly in the scenes with Don Pedro and in the church scene with Beatrice. He is fortunate in a Beatrice charming to the audience and it is understood, to Benedick himself. |
