| Content Summary: |
He has received a letter from Salvini who wishes to give a bust of Shakespeare to the Club. Salvini would like Browning to present it, but as Irving instigated it at the dinner and is President would he find out from the Secretary whether a formal presentation is required. Congratulations on Irving's recent success. |

| Notes: |
Salvini was in London from April to July 1875. Irving's play is probably 'Macbeth' which opened on 25th September. Letter 3693 refers to a presentation to the Garrick Club, and although Irving was not President, Salvini may have misunderstood his position. |

[1875?], Dec., 3 |
| Document Type: |
Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He praises Irving's Macbeth and would have liked to see him afterwards, but had ladies with him. Macbeth was impressive and subtle, and although a villain Sant was with him to the end. The costume in the banqueting scene was very paintable and he wished he had brushes with him. He queries one textual point and says he now knows the play better than he ever did. |
