Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
So impressed by Irving's acting the previous night that he could not express his feelings. Discusses Irving's interpretation of Macbeth in detail. His one criticism is that Macbeth was too fearful in the banquet scene. He sat back to preserve his clerical incognito so he did not see all of the action but heard the voice. Mrs Crowe's performance pleased him with minor reservations. He hopes Irving may be tempted to visit him in Gloucester. |

He would be glad to know on what day in every week it will be convenient to her for him to have the children. He would also be glad that on the day they come to him they do not go to school. At their ages school should be but pastime, so there could be no interference with anything important. The last time poor little Harry came to him he was fagged to death as he'd been at school in the morning. |

Partial typewritten transcript. It seems likely that the date has been wrongly transcribed as in 1872 Harry was only two and Laurence one. |
