| 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. |

Irving is suggesting alterations/additions to Tennyson's 'The Cup' which opened at the Lyceum on 3rd January 1881 and ran for 130 nights.

| 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. |
