Date: [1875], [Sept.?], [26?] Sunday
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: One line of congratulation. She will go again the next day when Irving will have put it on a broader level. She praises his acting, his magnificent armour and the perfection of the last act. She thinks Irving must be half dead. Hamilton Aidé sent kind messages as he is in Southsea with his mother who is fading fast. (Postscript) More comments on 'Macbeth'. She personally did not like the moving panorama tho' the staging is gorgeous.

Address: -
Date: [1875], [Sept.?], [27?] Monday, 1.30am
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: The last act is an apotheosis - nothing could be better. Every syllable is clear but Irving must not drag on the first act, and must break up the lines more... She asked Delane, who really knows Shakespeare his honest opinion, and he was most struck by the attention of the audience... She prefers 'Hamlet' as a play and does not like her friends acting villains.
Published: L. Irving, p.262-63 (in part).
Notes: Further comment on 'Macbeth'. Delane is John Thadeus Delane, the editor of 'The Times'. Mrs Greville sent on a letter from him to Irving, which is in THM/37/7/22.

Content Summary: Pleased to leave Box that night for Fitzgerald. Asks him to come round to see him if only for a moment. Sorry he can't be with them the next Sunday. Glad that Fitzgerald has resolved about the 'Declaration'(?) - too good a subject to let go. In haste as just off to theatre.
