Content Summary: Thanks for all Irving's kindness. Thanks for his telegram and that morning's letter. She hopes he still enjoys Louis (XI) and will drive with him round the Brade Hills. The Balmoral is emptier than last year and they feel it. Mr St John looks back to it as the happiest 2 months he ever spent. They are interested in the publication he has sent. She fears he may find Edinburgh cold & chilly after the warmth of the other places - Dundee is a jolly place. Irving does not answer any of her questions. She gives bad news of the death of friends, and of the Brigade. That morning there was a donation for the Fund from Heidelberg.

Date: 1877, Oct., 31 [No.1]
Document Type: Letter (8 p.)
Content Summary: What a dear satisfactory letter. She does not know why she thought Edinburgh might be cold, but hopes it will not make Irving too proud. The programme is capital. He must rest before he goes to Dublin. Last night's telegram was a joyful surprise. She has done Trin's work in her current state, imagining the colours, and not as ornamented as she would wish. She had to get help sewing the blanket. What does Irving think of the P-- case and its free pardon? They do not approve of the power of the medical profession. The Baroness sent a letter to the Telegraph but said it should not appear in conjunction with an article as she was not sure of their opinion. A formal letter under Miss Peri's direction is enclosed. Mr St John dines there to say goodbye. He is a great loss.

Content Summary: They are glad he has seen Mrs Hanna, Lord Young & Mrs Blackie. Lord Young's supper is a fatigue but must be received as meant. She is glad he has time to see friends.

She hopes Irving will be able to meet them on Christmas Eve as they plan. She refers to Mr Aston, Mr St John and Trin's blanket with emerald green on it.
