Letter (8 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
She sends a promised cabinet photograph of herself from Mayall. She
discusses 'Vanderdecken' at some length. Wills has not shown his usual skill in character development and Irving has a thankless task. Whilst praising some details she thinks the play wearisome. Could he wind up the season in a more lively manner? Could they play Benedick and Beatrice together? If Mrs Bateman would give the theatre one evening for the benefit of the G[enera]l T[heatrica]l Fund she would act and repeat the play for Mrs Bateman's benefit. She expects the arrangements are made in which case she trusts Irving will not repeat her remarks. They go to Wales in early July. |

Irving probably replied that he was not ready for Benedick, as she mentions this in a letter from 15th May, [1879?] |

Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Would Irving mention to Baroness Burdett Coutts that it was at his request that Lawson wrote to her. There is to be an exhibition of pictures at Newcastle and he had promised to try to send 'Children of the City'. Would the Baroness object to 'Dawn' being sent? The cheque can be sent to his wife. This is the first chance he has had to write since receiving Irving's wishes. |

| Content Summary: |
The bearer (Mr George Holland) who accompanied Sothern, will tell Irving that he is well and rejoicing in Irving's success. He is a bad correspondent but retains his regard for Irving. He had hoped to come over but his success in 'Diplomacy' has led to an offer from California he cannot refuse. Irving will like Holland and he asks for at least half an hour of his time. |
