Date: [1880?], July, 22 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: He thanks Irving for the previous night's treat and for his Shylock, quoting Pope on Macklin "this is the Jew that Shakespeare drew". Both Irving and Ellen Terry were magnificent but he does think that while Irving's face was Jewish his hands and arms were Christian. What a touching ending to Act 3 when Shylock comes home to find his daughter gone. He hopes Irving will enjoy his holiday and they may all meet in December.
