Content Summary: He had intended to pursue Irving to his room the previous night to express his deep interest in his Hamlet, but saw HRH [the Prince of Wales?] in the stage box and thought he would have the same idea. He is not volunteering comment, merely praising the last moment of the dying scene when peace comes over Hamlet, which he had not caught on the first night. He will not forget Irving's poetry and pathos as he finds rest.

Content Summary: Irving has made an enquiry at [Josh- -?] but Dixon's book only embraces the lives of Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn and goes no further. He has sent, in case Alfred Tennyson does not have them, Miss Strickland's 'Mary & Elizabeth' which contains a lot of stuff which may be of use. Remember Irving most kindly to his father.
