Notes: An unusually long quotation (from Act I, Scene 5) offered by Irving, currently playing Hamlet, as a statement of friendship. Stuck to the slip of paper is a small head portrait, cut from a photograph, and obscuring a few words. Irving did occasionally use cut-out images (to his old friend Charles Ford and to Ellen Terry) and may have added the head himself. The recipient might again be Charles Ford. The quotation is preserved with a caricature portrait of Irving as Hamlet by Alfred Bryan.
