How can he thank her for her beautiful gift? It is lovely and matches the dark green of the sofa. Surely she did not make it? He has several improvements to show her which he hopes she will see soon. He is beginning rehearsals of 'Louis' - to be produced in 3 weeks. She can always write for seats. |

She returns the book, marked as they read in the Summer with the exception of Bassanio's speeches which Irving can do as he pleases, though she advocates cutting as a Royal audience is not always patient, and with them brevity seems a virtue. She could be at home to Irving any day that week between 2 and 4pm. Meet on 27th a little before 3? The Princess will be punctual and the reading will start at once. Mr Martin is reading the solemn and not over wise Duke of Venice. She thanks Irving for his support. |

Princess Louise, Baroness Burdett Coutts & Mrs Brown attended the reading. |
