Content Summary: P-- was a thing to be avoided. She had much talk with Ld R[osebery?] who regretted not seeing more of Irving, and praised his genius. Irving will have received her letter about the Belgian Minister. She remarks on a well written paper about 'The Bells', and returns to Irving's view on the scene between Hamlet and Ophelia and other aspects of his performance. How good of Irving about the Stock Company, as reported in her 'Theatre'. The [?] President's letter was very pleasant in response to such a kind offer.

Content Summary: Trin has been in a fight. An enclosed letter refers to her "Shadow Mother" relationship and the professor's words. Has he received her letters and seen the favourable remarks about what he said about critics? A letter from Mr Bartlett in Constantinople will be sent to Irving but is presently retained by the Baroness for business. Please return Mrs Blackie's letter. The dinner went well. It is amusing how people read and act Shylock to the best of their abilities exactly the same every time and with the same inflexion. Good wishes & to Trin.

Notes: Dictation for Mrs Brown probably not by the Baroness except for heading note and address. Laurence Irving states that Irving did not consider 'The Merchant of Venice' before going to Venice with the Baroness in 1879.

Date: 1877, Nov., 26 
Document Type: Letter (7 p.)
Content Summary: Thanks for the letter with most satisfactory news. She is glad his paper is to be published as a pamphlet as he can make additions and alterations. Hatchards will advise him about publication? She hopes he will soon be with them, and thanks him for the list of the Dinner to him. She again talks of his Hamlet and Richard. How did Mrs Trench entertain him, and did he see the Archbishop and how is he? Is not the best season for the Dublin élite. The heads of the Brigade are away, but they had a letter from [H.M.] Stanley that day.
