Date: [1874?] Saturday
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: Thanks for another delightful evening. She enjoys 'Hamlet' more every time she sees it. Cannot say how much she admires Irving's acting and his way of speaking the grand words. Should like to see it again but is going away next week until January. If Irving has a day or two to spare she and the Duke would love to see him about Xmas time. Last night her brother-in-law, Lord Ronald Gower and Mr and Hon. Mrs Batson[?] were all entranced. Ronald believes he has never seen such a Hamlet before.

Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: [1874] 
Document Type: Letter (8 p.)
Content Summary: For her son she returns two of the three vols Irving has lent. He keeps the Devonshire 4to of 1603. In some places she prefers the simpler first copy [1st 'bad' quarto?] She cites various passages. She has read Mr [Edward] Russell but does not understand his drift and criticises his views of other actors too. She saw Charles Kean who was unattractive. She has heard from Mrs Greville who will call soon. They will probably get on well having the same tastes. She had a very bad headache at the Lyceum and hardly knew what she said. Next day she goes with her husband and Maurice to St. Julian till Monday.

Notes: 'My dear Hamlet'. Maurice was one of her sons.
