Craven will need plenty of red handkerchiefs. He needs another scene for 'The Iron Chest' and suggests part of 'Eugene Aram' scenery, also design for costumes for Fitzharding and Barnes.

He is glad Clarke Sullivan & Co. have come to grief as they are a shabby lot. He hopes Ellen Terry is doing well. Get Clarke to write some good entracte music for 'The Iron Chest' which wants great care taken with it. His love to Stoker.

Address: Weymouth
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: 1879, Sept., 14 
Document Type: Letter (12 p.)
Content Summary: It seems strange not to be able to speak to Irving and Charley. The Walrus cruise has sometimes overcome her with memories of the old life. She will feel more at home on the Walrus where they return the next day - Bartlett and the others. On Thursday they sail for Guernsey & Jersey and she gives postal directions. They embark Miss Harbord for St Malo. She hopes to see Mr Aston and reports his troubles, asking Irving to write to him. She knows Irving is not forgetful of friends but he does not realise the depth of pleasure he gives to inarticulate people. She describes Mr Aston's attentions to Mrs Brown. She wishes to hear Irving's news and reports what Weeden said about Irving's rooms and papers. She talks of the feelings in a changing life and her activities, and would like a few moments with Irving, but he is where he should be. Mr Wills will try to see him...
Published: -
Notes: Weeden was the Baroness's steward and W.H. Wills one of her secretaries, Charley was Irving's dog.
