Content Summary: She hopes Irving has recovered the Gaiety. She refers to the crimes of Charity but it turns out well as Irving never acted more effectively and beautifully and in the Two Portraits he did something new and fine. They are not coming that night as Friday suited Countess Rothes and Mr Leslie better, so Irving can come to supper on Friday at a suitable time. God Bless him. She mentions visitors with her and Miss Erskine the day before - all touched to the quick. What a House.

Notes: This may refer to a benefit performance. The Comédie Française company were to have a season at the Gaiety in June and July.

Content Summary: Irving's reason for withdrawing must be a just one. Therefore he will follow his example and he will subscribe £10 and send Irving the cheque. He wondered why Mr Everett made the application. It appears to be a 'Truth'ful two'[?] Will Irving come when he can; the sooner the better. All there will rejoice to see him. P.S. When is Irving's benefit? Let him know in good time.

Notes: 'Truth' was a magazine - probably satirical. This refers to Henry Marston's benefit held at the Lyceum on 29th May. See Letter 6845.

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?

Published: The Irvingite, no.65
Notes: This suggests the occasion may be the benefit of the actor Henry Marston (Richard Henry Marsh) on 29th May 1879. Irving lent the Lyceum but refused to act himself. The letter may possibly be addressed to Mr Marsh.
