| Content Summary: |
He sends the remainder of 'The Professor' to be returned by the next Sunday if no use. He would wish Irving to have it, and Ellen Terry to play Lucy. He needs to re-write. The alternative title is 'A Cure for Love'. He hopes Irving is enjoying Boscastle. He saw Irving's son [Laurence] in 'Walker' the last week, when he was not as good as [Seymour] Hicks in 'merry' scene but better than Hicks in 3rd Act. |
