| Content Summary: |
Her compliments to Irving. She will not play Madame Deschappelles the next Saturday morning, or until he revives it at the Lyceum with her in the role. She is writing to Mrs
B[ernard] Beere to say so without mentioning Irving. They had not rehearsed it and it was a rapid verbal agreement so that she forgot the action would be unwise before she appeared at the Lyceum. When she remembered she wrote to Irving. |

| Notes: |
See Letter 5108. It was presumably not widely known that Irving was to revive 'The Corsican Brothers' on 18th September 1880. The note of the answer 11/2/79 is unclear. |

Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
She cannot let the day end on which she has revisited the Lyceum and seen all the care Irving has bestowed on every detail without a few words. She thinks of the pleasure the visit would have given poor blind Mrs Brown, but she feels Irving has fulfilled the potential Mrs Brown had detected in him.... She now realises more fully the size of Irving's sphere of influence. His friends think of him as nobly working out a noble career, still to be further realised. |
