Letter (8 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Irving's letter was a relief, but she finds the Manchester critics deficient. She praises some accounts of the performance and then turns to her own thoughts on Macbeth's refusal to fight with Macduff. She gives news of Brigade members and visitors. The two Tooles's (?) are very happy together - and a nice little music party in the evening, and all know each other well. They think of Irving performing every night. |

M'Lean the publisher would like to do it, the idea to present publisher with copyright on condition it is engraved in the best style possible.
