Letter (3 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Warm commendation of production of 'Othello'. Irving invariably reaches Pinches' highest ideals. 'Othello' has never been better but suggests omitting or shortening Act 4 Scene 3. The diction was faultless in the apology. He discusses Act 3 Sc 3; Act 4 Scene 1, Act 5 Scene 2, the last being particularly admirable with Mrs Crowe's denunciation of her husband. [Kate Bateman as Emilia]. |

| Content Summary: |
He thanks Irving for the opportunity to play Iago, and for his kindness and generosity throughout the performance. His success is the more pleasing because it does not diminish that of the greatest of actors. He has purchased a goblet which he hopes Irving will accept. When the papers spoke so well of him he was pleased, and annoyed lest it would create ill-feeling between them, but thanks to Irving the reverse has been the result. |
