Content Summary: Thanks for the souvenir, and Irving's kind welcome to his friend Mr Sfrinek who had to procure designs for pieces of Hamlet costume. He does not favour imitation but one learns from the great interpreters of art. He includes a cutting from 'Journal de République Française' proving what he and his friends think of Irving's Hamlet.

Notes: In French, with the cutting attached. This states that Maurel is studying Ambroise Thomas' opera 'Hamlet' with new style costumes inspired by Irving's sensational production the previous year. Maurel quotes: "The best is the enemy of the good."
