Content Summary: He hopes Irving's idea of the third murderer will not make him deny Burnand's theory in that week's 'Punch'. P.S. Where are the 'Flying Dutchman' notes? Was it dropped? It is right to do a version of 'The Courier of Lyons' for a change.
Published: -
Notes: Written sideways from a new address on paper headed: The Dukes Theatre, which is crossed out. The casting of the third murderer is a significant point in productions of 'Macbeth'. 'The Lyons Mail' was to open at the Lyceum on May 19th, and 'Vanderdecken' was not produced until June 8th, 1878. Possibly Burnand had contributed some notes for Irving.

Content Summary: The flowers are beautiful and with care will last long. She must come to see his rooms, but he has often said that. When they next meet he will have much news. He is going through (or his lawyer is) a desperate fight. It is about his children and a stirring cause. He is glad she likes 'Richard'. He is somewhat sick of him. He's too hard to be pleasing. The Batemans told him of her (rooms?) and how delighted they were with them. They are very pretty.
