Her father (W.E. Gladstone) loves a play but only goes unless he has an excuse such as an invitation. Since Irving has told her to let him know when Gladstone would like to come - he has a free evening on 5th (Thursday). May she tell him he is invited? She is delighted to have an invitation from Tennyson to see 'Louis XI' on Saturday. |

Letter (5 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Would it do to mention G.W. [W.G.] Wills (Charles I) amongst modern authors? The history is so affectionate - might it inspire him to write another? Irving might think it too modern and likely to inspire jealousy in others. They have talked over Irving's paper and like it so much. He works so hard. Some say it is better to be sightless than deaf and she had doubted it, but does not do so now. |
