Address: -
Date: 1878, Aug., 25 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: The fly is waiting to take them from that horrible place. Her husband will be in London the next week and her address will be in Matlock. If Irving will write to her there or see her husband at Longridge Road or the Haymarket Theatre - will he make her some definite proposition and she will answer definitively. She thinks she understands he wishes her to be at the Lyceum the next season and she most earnestly desires to be with him. She hopes they can arrange. (Postscript:) She gives three addresses until 30th September. 'Dora' has been an extraordinary success. Charles Reade was called for and yelled at. Oddly it was well acted in London some years before and failed.
