Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Thanks for her favourite Box for that night - cannot say how much she looks forward to 'Hamlet'. It has been a great pleasure to read the reviews and she thanks Irving for the accounts in the provincial papers he has sent her. Will he call in her Box? She will not send for him as she knows it is an exhausting part. |

Letter (2 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
As the Academy says that Irving has altered the leaping into the grave Furnivall encloses lines by (sic) R. Burbage which will convince Irving that Shakespeare himself authorised it. He has no doubt, for why should Hamlet die in Ophelia's grave and if Shakespeare ever thought of the idea or rejected it, it is not recorded. He congratulates Irving on the success of his opening and is glad that he has the Ophelia which Furnivall suggested in his first letter in 187(6?). He wishes Irving prosperity. |
