| Content Summary: | She refers to her conversation with him at the Luncheon at the Mansion House about George Sand's 'Les Beaux Messieurs de Bois-Doré'. She has sent him the book from Paris the week before and now encloses a picture of the principal scene from the illustrated papers. She is sure he will find the play worthy of him and the Lyceum. | ||

| Document Type: | Letter (2 p.) | ||
| Content Summary: | Irving's secretary, he supposes, wrote asking him to call on Irving on Thursday at 2 pm. He called when he first arrived in London and sees no need to visit him again, as he was insulted or neglected at least. He wrote twice and once to the Secretary to which he has received no reply. Kindly return his friend Salvini's letter and thus confer a favour. | ||
| Published: | - | ||
| Notes: | See the Letter of introduction from Salvini, dated 1/5/1883, Letter 3694. An English translation of a letter from Salvini to Marra, dated 23/6/1883 is still preserved in THM/37/7/38. He refers to his friend seeking a good position in London and is glad Irving has received him courteously. Salvini is not at present coming to London but wants to take an Italian company to Spain, and perhaps to America in the winter of 1884. He asks to be remembered to Irving. There seems to have been a grave failure of communication. | ||

| Content Summary: | They have met, but to remind him she sends photograph. She is known to be connected to literature and also has worked as Reader and Entertainer. She would like half an hour's conversation as she has dramatic talent and would like to seek a stage career especially in Shakespearean parts - her voice and figure are suited for the heavy lead. She does not want to risk her reputation as a novelist and would only act with a man of standing like Irving. She had refused an offer to tour in the provinces, but the fact that her compère George Grossmith and Helen Barry have succeeded without experience and her amateur success suggest she asks an interview with Irving. | ||

| Content Summary: | Thanks Irving for Box the previous Saturday. He saw the productions of Macready, Phelps and Charles Kean as Macbeth and at least 50 full performances at his uncle's [Samuel Phelps] theatre [Sadler's Wells]. He thinks 'Macbeth' the greatest of Shakespeare's tragedies and Macbeth the greatest challenge for an actor. The three actors named differed but were very fine as was Irving. He means this as a tribute to Irving - Samuel Phelps' legitimate successor. He first went to the theatre in 1837 when his uncle acted Hamlet in Plymouth. Probably the last will be Irving's Macbeth. P.S. Why doesn't he do 'The Tempest'? | ||

| Content Summary: | Irving has probably seen in the papers that she is soon to be married, but she wants to write herself as though they have not met often, Irving always seemed to take an interest in her work. She would consider it an honour if Irving would come to her wedding. She is remaining on the stage as her future husband understands her love for her work. | ||
