| Content Summary: | Warmest regards to Hallam's mother, Lady Tennyson. Work will not allow Irving the pleasure of accepting invitation. Irresponsible newspaper man has said things that are untrue about Ellen Terry. 'Becket' has no greater admirer than she. He cannot consider doing 'Harold' at present - has arrangements up to 1897- the year after he returns from America. Will read 'Harold' again, however, when he has a suitable chance. They close 'Becket' on Friday ; he mentions this in case Hallam can come up to town that night or the next day. | ||

| Content Summary: | His sole wish is to do as Irving wishes. He has telegraphed at once to stop the printing of the stage copy. Kindly ask Stoker to call on Mr Craik the next day without delay to explain matters. He wishes Irving all success and thanks him for the trouble he has taken with 'Becket'. (Postscript:) Now that the French scene is in, there is no need of the original stage copy being published which Lord Tennyson approved. If Irving does not speak the new lines about the Voice of the People please keep them strictly private for Hallam Tennyson in his Life. | ||

| Content Summary: | He hopes Irving has recovered from overwork. He has been looking in the new 'Becket' and humbly suggests one or two points about where the curtains should come in Act 1, Sc.1; Act 1, Sc.3 and at the end of the play. He supposes Irving will put the songs in the programme if he doesn't have a stage copy? (Postscript:) Will Irving let the first £10 due to Hallam for 'Becket' go to the Actors' Benevolent Fund. | ||

| Notes: | Letter 4707 recorded the cancellation of publication of a performing text. Hallam Tennyson suggested that the play should end with Becket's words "Into thy hands". By courtesy of the Tennyson Records Centre, Lincolnshire County Council. | ||

| Content Summary: | He thanks Tennyson as every alteration he has made has been most valuable. He wishes they were nearer, to avoid his boring letters. The next day he will try Tennyson's suggestions in many ways. The falling back of Synorix as if in fear of Camma's pressing towards him is very fine and he will try it although arranged differently at present. The work is a labour of love to him and if Tennyson gets a little of the satisfaction and delight that have been Irving's share, Tennyson will be repaid. Ellen Terry is getting very comfortable and easy in work new to her and the first grand character she has attempted. Will Tennyson send a copy of the play to Pigott, or send through Irving? Irving is supposed to obtain the licence. | ||
