Author: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: 15A, Grafton Street, Bond Street, W
Recipient: Tennyson, Hallam >>
Address: Farringford, Freshwater, Isle of Wight
Date: 1880, Nov., 16 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: Thanks for his father's beautiful and magnificent additions. The staggering Synorix is very fine - awful and grim. Other scenes are splendid and will be of great use. Suggests after 12th line on page 47 that a line is added such as 'Beside the temple - now a year ago'. He doesn't think Hallam will like this - he can see him laughing but he needs to bring the audience back to the place and time of the first Act. An audience needs a lap spoon.

Document Type: Letter (1 p.)
Content Summary: His father has lengthened the talk between Sinnatus & Camma after the departure of Synorix as Irving wished but thinks the scene seems a little overweighted + Irving may omit portions as he pleases. Tennyson feels the sarcasm is actable enough. He is thrilled that the amplification of Synorix's speech p.48 is a great improvement. (Postscript:) His father put in brackets what might be omitted.
Published: Tennyson, Letters, vol.3, p.200.
Notes: 'The Cup', first performed on 3 January 1881. The letter includes passages signed by Alfred Tennyson.
