Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Does not know how to thank her for the loan of the treasured book. How much instruction and delight to come. It is in reverent hands. The dagger is most beautiful. He will ever prize it. The day before he had a long talk with [Ernesto] Rossi - the poor fellow was pathetic. She will be surprised that he is just going to Sir Frederick's chambers. He will probably tell her why. How strange it would be if one had to seek a home in another land after all the prospects in this. He just feels a little pain in his throat when he thinks of it. |

L. Irving, p.270 (in part). |
| Notes: |
The book was probably an early quarto of 'Hamlet'. The Caucasian dagger given to Irving by Lady Pollock had been presented to Edmund Kean by Lord Byron. Irving was seeking advice about unspecified problems relating to his separation. Later pencil note 'Don't know- sounds odd - you may have the clue. E.P. [Emma Pollock?].' |

Letter (7 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He must comment after thanks. Irving's Hamlet is the best he has seen, but he criticises his voice in that when he drops to a whisper he cannot be heard. Mrs Siddons had a distinct whisper. He discusses one speech in detail and also Fechter's stresses in French. Irving divides words. Fechter never forgave Wellington for criticism but he hopes Irving will not be so cruel. All admire Irving. |
