She sends a balsam pillow she has made on the steamer in time for Xmas. She does too much, but in 1897 she, with daughter and dog 'Othello', will aim to be in London in June/July from Vienna for the Jubilee. She describes a summer holiday on Fisher's Island and met Irving's friend Col. Michie of West Point. She reads reviews and will go to see Willard, Tree & Bourchier but they do not compare to Irving. |

| Content Summary: |
He thanks Stoker for his letter and thanks Irving. He accepts the invitation to 'Richard III'. He has been looking forward to that production ever since he heard of it. Alas he is under orders for Osborne, although at present marching orders are not at hand. Should they come before the cherished date can his son accompany his mother? Don't answer - the boy is loyal and even more demonstrative than his father. |

'Richard III' opened on 19th December. Osborne is Queen Victoria's country home on the Isle of Wight. |
