| Content Summary: |
Irving's Hamlet delighted Mounet-Sully, and she translates his favourable comments literally. He is hurrying to get photographs, and to see 'Hamlet' again. She praises Mounet-Sully as an improved actor. He admired Ellen Terry's charm and spoke to Delaunay about the production, particularly the funeral procession. He longs to speak to Irving but knows no English. |

Irving's letter has been forwarded. How late in the season he gives his benefit. Sims Reeves has arranged a short summer tour and will be up north but thinks he can run up to London for the night. What would Irving like him to do? Sing two songs or play 'The Waterman'? Let him know. Glad Irving is doing so well and wishes him long life and continuing successful career. P.S. He returns home next Wednesday so send reply to Norwood but do not delay in answering! |
