Content Summary: She felt pride, pleasure & pain as she read Irving's letter as Mrs Brown would have done, and blessed him. How good he is. She will receive the bit of paper which so curiously reveals the history of three friends. He is not to bring it on Sunday for she has something to give him when he gives it to her, and would not do this at dinner time and cannot ask him to come earlier because so many people want to see her. She has been knocked about with her performances and will be pleased to show him her properties. She has been delighted by the praise of Irving she hears wherever she goes.

Content Summary: Prince Leopold was there that day and greatly desired to see Corsican Brothers so she offered her box for his only night - Friday, but she had given it away, though still gave it to HRH thinking Irving would give her one in addition. The Prince said both his brothers (P of W[ales] and D[uke] of C[onnaught]) had not yet met Irving and would like to so much that she has arranged to see about a supper or luncheon on his return. He also asked whether Irving wished to come to speak during or after the performance.... She thought much of the last night in Galatia, and how well Irving realised his artistic material. She refers to the old Greek drama.
Published: C.B. Patterson, Angela Burdett Coutts, p.199-200.
Notes: 'Galatia' is a reference to Tennyson's 'The Cup' which was to open at the Lyceum on 3rd January 1881. It seems as though Irving gave a reading for the Baroness on the Sunday evening and possibly even showed her the designs.
