Date: [1874?] Monday
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: She leaves something with Walter at Irving's door. Called with hope of seeing Irving as she has too much to say in note. Would her 'most dear Hamlet' let her borrow Sherborne note books and Collier's Shakespear [sic] Library and [? ]lectures on drama. She has been asked to write something. Comments on fact that ladies cannot be present at Garrick Club for theatrical dinner. She has great, great wish to be present. Will he agitate? She persuaded Dickens to get it approved for Macready dinner. She is coming to 'Hamlet' the next day with her husband and ten year old Hugh Spottiswoode. Would Irving come round to the Box or she to him? Doesn't understand Robert Lytton's admiration for Salvini. It must be the Italian language that bewitches him.

Author: Pollock, Juliet >>
Address: 59, Montagu Square, W
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: [1874?] Tuesday
Document Type: Letter (8 p.)
Content Summary: Will be at the theatre tonight. She will go round to Mr Bateman and asks Irving to come down and see her. She has been performing with her son, Walter, and Harry Dickens. Like strollers in the provinces they played in a courtyard of the dirtiest description with only one dressing room. She was nervous about 'The Bridge of Sighs' but the rough audience cried and so did Walter. If it was not bad it was due to her 'dear Hamlet' who has set strong emotion vibrating within her. Much additional and lavish praise. Irving loves his art and she feels there are harmonies between them.
