Address: -
Date: [1880?] 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: He sends the last act - has obviated the gloom and it finishes with a beautifully drawn landscape. He thinks Irving will find it fresh and strong. The Prologue must inject more light and humour. He would like to come round to see Irving one evening that week. He is depressed not knowing if his work is satisfactory - a word or suggestion from Irving tells him he is on the right track and pleasing him. Success to the new venture.

Notes: This may refer to 'Rienzi' but possibly to another of Wills' plays.
