| Content Summary: | The Théâtre Ambigu is to produce 'The Lyons Mail' and he is to play Lesurque-Dubosc. Irving's masterly performance, especially in the last scene made an ineradicable impression. The Ambigu wishes to perform this scene (not normally played in France). Can Irving tell him where to obtain the text and give a few hints on interpretation. | ||

| Notes: | Irving's version of the play had the innocent Lesurques escape the guillotine. | ||

| Content Summary: | He will not be in town next Thursday to accept Irving's invitation to supper. He is going down to Hall Barn for a few days and is coming up for Gilbert & Sullivan's first night and on Monday(?) going with his wife to Brighton as he is dead beat. Prospects for his play look fine. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | Hall Barn was the home of Edward Lawson. The Gilbert & Sullivan first night is probably that of 'The Gondoliers' on 7th December 1889, although the 9 in the date has been read as 5. Hare's play may be 'A Pair of Spectacles' which opened at the Garrick on 22nd February 1890, and was a great success. | ||

| Content Summary: | He thanks Irving for the play of which he will give an honest opinion. Can he keep it for a fortnight or three weeks as, because of the shaky conclusion of 'La Tosca' he is forced to put a little comedy into rehearsal at once which means learning a long part. It may delay reading 'Ravenswood' as carefully as he would wish. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | 'La Tosca' had opened on 28th November 1889; 'Ravenswood' opened on 20th September 1890, but Irving is said to have brooded over it for seven years. | ||
