Date: 1879, May, 24 
Document Type: Letter (8 p.)
Content Summary: She is better with voice returning, but has to stay in so has given her box. Irving's June announcements are clear and attractive. She encloses £5 for Mr Marston's benefit for which Irving lends the Lyceum. They will dine early at 7 with a long evening for the work she has rather selfishly co-opted Irving. Come as early as he likes, but she forgot to tell him the night before she has to see friends between 5 and 6. She hears he played well the previous night. (Postscript) She sends the Chronicle with a letter he would like to read, and refers again to his natural endowments, and to the fuss the Comédie Française are making. How are they to be received?

Notes: Henry Marston's benefit was on 29th May.

Date: 1879, May, 24 Saturday
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: Did Irving ever read 'The Lovers' (Faust) which he sent printed? It is now revised and in four acts and he feels that Irving will not easily find a better original part than 'Lestrange'. Will Irving say when he will be at home, as he has too many visitors at the theatre. Merivale has had an offer for the play which he feels like accepting but he does not like to lose the original Lestrange with such a 'Daisy' on hand as Ellen Terry. Please write.
