Last to hypocrisy & ingratitude, may be added the trifling with crime of theft. I set our return in "Memoirs". Many thanks for the loan of so interesting a book. He could gladly have read it again if Marshall had allowed him the opportunity. |

Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Great praise for Irving's Hamlet on Monday night ; he was attentive and sympathetic to his interpretation. Ophelia was antithetical to all passion. Discusses closing scene with a little criticism. Will Irving dine with them early on with a choice of dates, to talk about his Macbeth? He will try to invite sympathetic spirit like Matthew Arnold. Marvels that artists [of the theatre] should have to play so many representations of the same piece. |

| Notes: |
Comment on playing of Ophelia may reflect on why Isabel Bateman was replaced. |

| Content Summary: |
Huge praise for his acting and concept of Hamlet. She has seen him play the part twenty-one times. Comments on his lovely inflection and movement. Praises his nature and character. He is what she would wish a son of her own to be. Says his past tendency to over elaborate action has now gone. She has something to say to him alone - can he find an hour anywhere? Sends him a copy of her(?) article from 'Temple Bar'. |
