Content Summary: It was a great relief to get at St Malo on Tuesday English papers with accounts of 'The Iron Chest'. Members of the party on board drank to Irving's success. The Walrus is at Havre where she hopes to hear news of Irving. She relates how the Walrus was driven on to a reef in Jersey and slightly holed. They made for Cherbourg and a gale set in as they crossed. Irving's outside bed mattress and other furniture were thrown about, also the passengers...The disaster changed everything and they had to go to St Malo by road - difficult for trains, letters & telegrams. The last they heard of Irving was a telegram at Cherbourg to Mr Bartlett. She wishes Irving had been with them. In Rennes she describes the scene and is reminded of past visits - Irving will feel how these picture a life never before without one dear little figure (Hannah Brown).

Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: 1879, Oct., 3 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: He asks for a box for John Tenniel, himself and his wife to see 'The Iron Chest' the next Tuesday night. (Postscript:) He is anxious about Irving's Shylock. He and his wife would like to come to the first night, and thinks they should not have stalls, so he asks for private tip of the date so he can reserve seats with the acting manager.
Published: -
Notes: September is crossed out in the date. Burnand would normally have received a stall as a press critic and first night seats were often distributed rather than sold. Burnand does not refer to Bram Stoker by name. The first night of 'The Merchant of Venice' was on 1st November 1879.
