Mrs B[ernard] Beere has asked her to play Madame Deschappelles for her the next Saturday morning. Does he object? If so she will refuse. She would have refused without troubling Irving except for a continuance. |

| Notes: |
Lyceum receipt stamp 11 Feb 79. It was customary to ask for such permission - the continuance presumably meant she had played the part from 'The Corsican Brothers' for Mrs Beere before. For her response to Stoker's reply see Letter 7625. |
