| Content Summary: |
He sends congratulations on the previous night's triumph. He was one of many friends, and was almost deafened by a man shouting in the pit. He has never seen such "first night" enthusiasm anywhere before. Don't let management worry him, but take things easily. It is trying and can be painful to a sensitive man as so many people think kindness means "kootooing" [kowtowing]... Irving has a clear field and much favour and must succeed as all his friends wish. No need to answer. |

"Dear Mrs Stoker." This is probably to Emily Stoker as Florence and George Stoker are reported to have been at 'Hamlet' on 30th December. From a group of letters connected with the Stoker family in Dublin. A digital image of this letter is at http://libraries.claremont.edu/col/phl |
