She is trying to get a box from Mr Bancroft for that night. She is looking forward to seeing Charles [I] once more, and life is sweet and full of pleasures. When she saw Charles in '78 she made herself ill. She now understands how natural it was for Drummond to die of a broken heart. (Postscript:) She sent a note and a drawing to Irving the day before and hopes it arrived safely. |
