Part of the extract pleases her immensely, but she doesn't care about Kean or Garrick. She likes that which is, and how could Irving imitate them! There is but one Richard in their generation... |

Good reports of her patient and they are thinking of Saturday from his note of 16th just received. She fears a letter was missed which he should have received on his return from Brighton - not about Concert tickets & Box but the one dictated by Mrs Brown thanking him for flowers. (Postscript) Mrs Brown asks her to thank Irving for the note just received "doubly dear" when written in the midst of his troubles.... |

Looking forward immensely to seeing 'The Lyons Mail' on Monday. Could Irving come to see her at 4 on Monday or Tuesday as she is going out of town on Wednesday? As Mrs Bateman has so kindly proposed she would like to use the Royal Entrance on Monday evening as it is Whit Monday and there may be a great crowd. |

She has been staying with George Meredith. He used to talk with Irving at the Garrick Club. He is a great admirer of Irving, but one does nothing but listen to him in his society! She is delighted with Irving's new play and his acting as Dubosc and Lesurques. She greatly admires the last scene of "malignant ferocity". |
