| Content Summary: |
Hopes Irving will forgive him for forwarding enclosed from a Madame von Pokorny (she signs her professional name) who has been highly spoken of to him. She is in great need and this might cause Irving to offer her an appointment because of his benevolent reputation. She has an appointment at the Adelphi but ' Charlotte Corday' is to be withdrawn on 11th. Irving might let someone see her act. She is a lady and does not need financial help. |

How good of Irving to send her such lovely flowers. She is pitying herself very much when she listens to all the enjoyment her friends and Sir Theodore have had that afternoon. They delighted in the play and in the acting of "the Great Peter". She must get well enough to see it next Wednesday. |

Thanks for reading [play] so quickly and speaking to Irving about it. She wishes he had had it as he might have liked the part, and alterations made it possible. Miss Terry told her he is going to Paris so that it is no good her reading it. Mrs Clifford feels discouraged but will recover. |
