She waited until 5.30 that afternoon but had to leave. Her servant tells her Irving arrived directly after. She had given him up or would have left a message. She has to meet the King and Queen of Hanover the next day so will Saturday suit between 3 and 4? Don't trouble to reply. Nearer 3 o'clock is most convenient. |

Has been out of town. Great praise after seeing Irving in 'The Bells' for the third time. Acting more wonderful than ever. Would like to see 'The Lyons Mail' that night. Box or stalls. Longs to see 'Louis XI' but goes out of town for some time on 9th March. Could Irving come to see her some afternoon but let her know before [underlined] as she is out a great deal. |

Her father (W.E. Gladstone) loves a play but only goes unless he has an excuse such as an invitation. Since Irving has told her to let him know when Gladstone would like to come - he has a free evening on 5th (Thursday). May she tell him he is invited? She is delighted to have an invitation from Tennyson to see 'Louis XI' on Saturday. |
