Letter (5-8 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
[Can he come] round to her Box so they can arrange a further meeting? It is easier for her to come to him than he to her. She has some work where his judgment will be of value - she is going to write a play. He had better tell Kate that Tennyson has read his play to her -it is absurd they both pretend not to know. Only the 'Saturday Review' has quoted W.C. M[acready]'s letters. Was surprised they left out some that showed Macready and others more tender still. She and her husband prefer not to give the confidences of friendship to the public even if their view is anachronistic. She wants to see Irving but does not wish to bother him. |

| Notes: |
Incomplete letter. 1875: Macready's Reminiscences, edited by Sir Frederick Pollock; 1876: Tennyson's 'Queen Mary'. Kate is probably Kate Crowe, née Bateman. |

She expresses her pleasure in 'Hamlet' which she has seen 3 times. She discusses the performance as a rare intellectual treat, and hopes one day to meet Irving. She is a young literary aspirant. (Postscript:) Could something be done to alter the rhyming couplets which mar Shakespeare's finest passages? What does Irving think? |
