"My dear Mr Irving" - later letters have "Dear Irving". This seems likely to refer to Irving's Hamlet, first performed on 31/10/1874. With an unrelated letter from Mrs Bancroft from this address to Mrs [Clement] Scott dated Tuesday, January 21 referring to Mr & Mrs Gilbert. |

Congratulations on Irving's concept of Hamlet. He seems to have adopted Goethe's idea and triumphed. He must treat hostile critics with contempt. Farler has an eager desire to see 'Hamlet'. |

| Notes: |
On mourning paper watermarked 1871. The gift is unidentified. Possibly presented after Irving's performance as Hamlet on 31st October 1874, but it could also possible refer to the "noble moor" Othello in 1876.. |

| Document Type: |
Letter (2 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He congratulates Irving upon his success in 'Hamlet'. The first time he saw him was at Liverpool in 'The Needful' and then in a burlesque in which he and his brother agreed, Irving was wasted. He wants to express his obligation to Irving as a lover of Shakespeare and 'Hamlet' in particular. |

| Notes: |
'The Needful'- Liverpool 11th Dec.1865 - 28th July, 1866. Irving played Captain Feargus [sic] Daly. 'Hamlet' 1874 or 1878? Earlier date seems more likely from tone of letter. |
