Letter (11 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Detailed high praise of 'The Cup'. Tennyson should be proud to be so interpreted, but it should be played before 'The Corsican Brothers'. Irving is incomparable and the trying preparation must be repaid by the enormous success. Irving has raised and revolutionised the modern stage. They were well repaid for rushing back. |

His transactions with Mrs Charles Kean were of a most simple and straightforward character. She gave Irving sole rights of acting 'The Corsican Brothers' for a run for £20 a month and Irving paid Mrs Kean an advance two months' fees whenever it might be acted. Irving has instructed Stoker to pay Logie on 18th £40 in advance for two months' fees and so on until the play is withdrawn. |

He wants to see Irving in the 'Corsicans' and also Tennyson's new play. He asks for a box for the next Friday. He has been to Rome with a good audience to his talk about it, with exhibition in the vestry. Irving will be glad to hear of this greater freedom in use of the pulpit and of the church. |
