Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He has not yet spoken to [W.G.] Wills about Don Q[uixote] but thought their united names would be good for Irving. As to terms:- he prefers to leave that to Irving. It is a labour of love and he wants to be associated with a big success for Irving. Give them something on 100th and 250th night - the copyright is Irving's. He summarises the play as he imagines it, which he thinks is Cervantes "pure and simple". |

| Content Summary: |
Irving must be so satisfied with his success he need only say he was totally charmed.(Postscript:) Irving's sword [of which the hilt is drawn] is of a later date than the dressing of the play. He thinks it is late Charles I, and remarks about the costume. He is not going to forget what Irving said about sitting to him. |
