Cannot dine on 27th as he is sailing for the Mediterranean next day for a short holiday. Wants to say how delighted he was with 'The Dead Heart'. Hasn't seen anything of that kind so picturesque and as impressive as Irving's Robert Landry - an unforgettable performance. |

'Ho, Willie, I have missed you' - he has missed him very much. There is a fortune left to all men who have the virtue to repent and Irving wants him to dine with him. Invitation to eat and drink with him on Sunday next the 27th at the Reform Club. A few good men and true -come if he can. Irving sends the best places for Saturday. He must come round with the song book in his pocket. Irving has been looking out for the adventures of the Buddlecombe family - wants to read them and enjoy them very much. Very best love at home. Affectionately yours |

Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
She comments on an impertinent letter in 'The Times' and wishes the writer within reach of Bram's [Stoker's] fist. This gives her an excuse to write although she knows Irving never answers letters. The play eclipses all others. Nelly [Ellen Terry] in the Prologue is the very spirit of dancing - young and lovely. She prefers Irving in Shakespeare, but this is a beautiful piece. |

| Notes: |
'The Dead Heart': she addresses Irving as "My dear Robert Landry". |

This probably does not refer to his play 'Philip', and may refer to the play he was writing for Irving referred to in Letter 69. |

This probably refers to her husband Squire Bancroft as the Abbé Latour in 'The Dead Heart'. She signs herself 'Alice's little mother'. |
