Content Summary: Irving's telegram cheered him up and sent him on stage with a better heart. What a contrast between Lancelot and the limp wretch he is now playing. He thinks back to the Saturday night farewell; his short stay was delightful and his 3 engagements at the Lyceum have been bright spots in his stage life. Writes of taking up Irving's tone and movement in scenes with him; a labour of love. They may never be able to act together again but he has delightful memories.
