Letter (3-8 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
... It was strange that the restoration of the Oratory scene was so little noticed. Pollock comments on the interpretation of the Closet scene. Strangely he has just come across an affidavit from a William Shakespeare and thought he was dreaming but it is written by an attorney in Worcester. Returning to the play they are indebted to Irving for the first successful Shakespearean production for years, with better to come, as Irving does not do himself justice on first nights. He has never seen all the parts so uniformly well cast. |

| Notes: |
First two pages missing. Probably written after first night of 'Hamlet' under Irving's own management of Lyceum as Pollock writes of the importance of the occasion and magnitude of Irving's undertaking. |

Warm praise for the fulfilment of Irving's ambition as Hamlet. To a painter's picturesque sense it was more pleasing than the other readings. Irving was the painter's Hamlet and a near perfect embodiment of the text. Thanks and good wishes. |
