Things have turned out well and she has fixed Wednesday evening or Thursday morning for Irving and Mr Bartlett to join the ship. The course is changed to Cherbourg and the French coast that night, then the Isle of Wight. Mr Bartlett understands. (Good omens) G.B. & G.W. are singing on the steam engines. The Longs join at Weymouth, others leave. |

The artist Edwin Long and his wife were fellow passengers. Hannah Brown often referred to Irving with the terms G.B. (Gold Bell or alternatively God Bless) and G.W. (Good Wish) and the Baroness sometimes refers to them. See Letter 577. |

She did not dare call after the performance as she did not get the usual hint from Mr Stoker, but she cannot be silent. She thanks Irving for the seats and treat, and now thinks of nothing but Richard III. It is perfect; subtle and devilish - the most sublime personification of Evil. Irving is great. She is sorry to think that she will never see the whole play - nor Irving's Hamlet of which she has read and heard so much - she sends never changing admiration and friendship. |

| Notes: |
This can only refer to Irving's benefit on 25th July 1879 when he played characters from 6 plays including an act from 'Richard III' and from 'Hamlet'. |
