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.

Content Summary: He has been very busy which delayed him thanking Irving for the scarf and Christmas card. He and his wife were delighted with Irving's success in 'Hamlet', well publicised in US. He needs 2 or 3 days to talk to Irving about his impressions of America. He gives details of his tour. At Philadelphia he played against Edwin Booth whom he has not yet met. J.S. Clarke is mean. The New York press operates a black mail ring. He has refused to pay and in the end wins. He talks of future plans, and rowdy New York. Irving should go to the Provinces before it is too late. At present he thinks Barry Sullivan will do better in America than Irving. He remembers various friends.

Date: [1875?] 
Document Type: 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.
Published: -
Notes: Incomplete letter. 1875: Macready's Reminiscences, edited by Sir Frederick Pollock; 1876: Tennyson's 'Queen Mary'. Kate is probably Kate Crowe, née Bateman.
