| Content Summary: |
First line is a greeting in Irish [Gaelic]. It is Russell's 74th birthday and his wife who is waiting outside has ordered him not to stay and he cannot deliver her welcome in person. She cannot speak Irish so her words are not as richly sounding as his own. He has had a pleasant evening with Dick Sheridan and thinks Irving will be there later. He cannot stay celebrating but hopes to shake Irving's hand soon. |

'Dick Sheridan' was a play by Robert Buchanan which opened at the Comedy Theatre on 3rd February, with H.B. Irving as Sheridan. It only ran until 30th March. |

| Content Summary: |
Welcome back to England. Whilst Irving went West he went East lecturing young Bengali lawyers in Calcutta. He wishes Rajput city life and a native court could be put on stage. He saw 'The Merchant of Venice' played by Mrs. Brown Potter and her company in Calcutta. They did their best and Kyrle Bellew's Shylock flattered Irving's. There were blood curdling dramas to be seen at the native theatre but he did not go. The players remind him of a quotation from 'Hamlet' [unspecified] for which he suggests a variant reading supported by the NED which has just reached 'E'. |
