Will be at the theatre tonight. She will go round to Mr Bateman and asks Irving to come down and see her. She has been performing with her son, Walter, and Harry Dickens. Like strollers in the provinces they played in a courtyard of the dirtiest description with only one dressing room. She was nervous about 'The Bridge of Sighs' but the rough audience cried and so did Walter. If it was not bad it was due to her 'dear Hamlet' who has set strong emotion vibrating within her. Much additional and lavish praise. Irving loves his art and she feels there are harmonies between them. |

She forgot to give him this the other day. It is amusing. She is taking Kate [Crowe] an exact portrait of Salvini in 'Othello' from 'Vanity Fair'. |

A note written on a ms. copy of a long letter from R. Sharp to [John] Henderson on [John Philip] Kemble's Hamlet. Lady Pollock did not admire Salvini and the portrait is a caricature. |

He went by chance the other night to see 'Hamlet' at the Lyceum. For the first time in a long life he saw a human being called Hamlet, and believes in no other as Shakespeare's men and women are truly human. He read 'Belgravia' that day for which he thanks Kenney, sending regards to his wife. J.W.D. |

Irving first performed Bulwer Lytton's 'Richelieu' at the Lyceum on 27th September 1873. This letter in his hand has on the back a note by H.H. (possibly Henry Howe?) reading "Henry Irving the tragedian 26th November 1874". |
