| Content Summary: |
On this occasion she gives name and address as she asks a great favour. She is shortly to leave England and is desperate to meet Irving in person. Throughout her life she has studied Shakespeare and has been dissatisfied with performances all over Europe. Disliked 'Romeo & Juliet' at the Haymarket but found her ideal embodiment in Irving's Macbeth. She does not know which of his subsequent three performances she admires most and praises his person, ability as an actor, as a public man and as a private man coping with sorrows of his private life. She offers him esteem and thanks. |

Well written in continental style. Irving's labours have 'added many a silver hair to your dark curls and made your delicate frame thinner'! |
