Letter (3 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He thanks Irving for reserving a box for him for Thursday evening. He will be delighted to sup after the play and discuss business. Tennyson's new play is a sad failure. Though a great poet he will never be a dramatist and only Irving's hand could have retrieved his previous dramatic experiments. (Postscript) Will Irving send the number of the box to 5 Bryanston Square to anticipate his arrival there. |

Irving's first Tennyson productions were 'Queen Mary' and 'The Cup' in 1881. 'The Falcon' had been produced at the St James's Theatre on 18th December 1879. Lytton's box was for 'The Merchant of Venice'. Two addresses and "St James's" pencilled on blank p.4.
