| Content Summary: |
He read the play carefully the night before. It is practical and the leading motive clean and strong. If Irving will allow him to use the same amount of discretion as he did in 'Fedora' he thinks he can promise what is desired for the lady in a fortnight. She herself has written to him that morning and he is writing to her with the same answer. |

| Notes: |
This sees to be a play by A. Delpit, to be adapted for Mrs Brown Potter, see Letter 2427; and it may be the play purchased later that year by Irving, although Irving's connection is not clear.. |

He tells Irving of Davenport Adams' book 'Good Queen Anne'. The first 150 pages deal with the English stage during the Augustan era - not a work of literature, but carefully researched. Irving might think it worth a quick look in view of his forthcoming Oxford lecture. |
