He forgot a point in the last batch - after FD [Flying Dutchman?] describes scenes of the loveliest death in the tropic sea, he says peril would be sweet with her and adds "Death be bliss" or some such thing. He has drawn from her what he is aiming at. He thinks the opening of the scene will please Irving. |

Work on 'Vanderdecken' was begun in 1876 or 1877 before its eventual performance on 8th June 1878. This letter may therefore date from earlier. |

How can he thank her for her beautiful gift? It is lovely and matches the dark green of the sofa. Surely she did not make it? He has several improvements to show her which he hopes she will see soon. He is beginning rehearsals of 'Louis' - to be produced in 3 weeks. She can always write for seats. |
