| Content Summary: |
Official engagement prevents him from applauding Irving in The Polish Jew (The Bells) but as he is in London to end of month will take up Irving's kind offer for following week. Praises Irving's Hamlet the other evening - never seen anything finer. Does not always understand English idiom but the translation comes through Irving's eyes. Could he have a photograph with a word in Irving's royal hand? An affectionate word as all his sympathies are with Irving. |

Hopes Irving will accept little souvenir. Apply to him if Irving needs any information in Paris and if he comes to Paris as proposed.
Reopens letter as Lady Pollock has just given him Irving's Shakespearean relic accompanied by charming letter. He will keep letter and box carefully and leave them to his son in remembrance of Irving's sympathetic reception. Thinks of Irving's idea of a Conservatoire and a National Theatre - Shakespeare's house. Irving alone can bring it to reality. |

| Content Summary: |
He has written to Loveday and wishes Stoker would call on him to prevent a mistake in the next day's advert. He and Stoker had both forgotten that 'Eugene Aram' , not 'The Bells' was to be played the next day. 'The Observer' has a long feature on 'The Bells'. (Postscript:) Someone should see that the adverts in the dailies are correct - since they two were the only numbskulls making the mistake. |
