| Content Summary: |
He is extremely gratified to receive Fitzgerald's letter and to know he thinks him qualified to play 'Mercadet' successfully. He would like to play the character but thinks his large hands and Englishness would overcome him. Interest in Balzac is encouraging and Irving's next new play is founded on one of his stories. He will think of 'Mercadet' in its original setting. He only knows 'Rabagas' by reputation but sees it is to be played at the St James's. He is most grateful for Fitzgerald's suggestions, which he hopes will not be the last. |

Addressed "My dear Sir". 'Mercadet' or 'Le Faiseur', 1851, by Honoré de Balzac was adapted the same year by G.H. Lewes as 'A Game of Speculation'. Irving's new play was 'Philip' by Hamilton Aidé, not staged until 1874. 'Rabagas' by Sardou was performed by a visiting French company in London. |
