| Content Summary: |
The visit of Baroness Burdett Coutts & Henry Irving has paid great honour to the Club that evening, with memorable brilliant effect. They have had the honour of hearing Irving on several occasions by invitation of the Baroness, and have profited from his words. They must not despair in adversity and pray for assistance, but also help themselves. |

| Notes: |
Irving seems to have carried the Baroness's message, probably to her costermongers' Columbia Club: the Burdett Coutts Club for Working Class Men & Boys. The address is also signed by other Club officers. |

| Content Summary: |
They have met, but to remind him she sends photograph. She is known to be connected to literature and also has worked as Reader and Entertainer. She would like half an hour's conversation as she has dramatic talent and would like to seek a stage career especially in Shakespearean parts - her voice and figure are suited for the heavy lead. She does not want to risk her reputation as a novelist and would only act with a man of standing like Irving. She had refused an offer to tour in the provinces, but the fact that her compère George Grossmith and Helen Barry have succeeded without experience and her amateur success suggest she asks an interview with Irving. |
