They are off early the next day and she thanks Irving for a delightful Saturday evening. Frank had not seen the play since the first performance. She loves the last scene where the snow falls and the little scene when Louis puts his hat before his face when Martelli names the woman he loves. They are away until January and will write to Mr Hurst from Rome when she knows a date for their next Lyceum visit. Love from Frank and herself. |

She describes 'The Corsican Brothers'. Joseph Hurst ran the Lyceum box office. |

| Content Summary: |
Just read enclosed. Was the part of Madame understudied? If so get the lady at the theatre by 2 & Irving will go through scenes. If not understudied get Miss Barnett there at 2 & she must read it. Perhaps Loveday can think of something better. (At head:) Then there's 'The Cup'. Telegraph Allen to come down. |

| Notes: |
Madame is probably Madame Savilia dei Franchi in 'The Corsican Brothers' played by Georgiana Pauncefort who was presumably ill. She did appear as Phoebe in 'The Cup' which opened on 3rd January 1881. Jimmy (James H.) Allen was the prompter. |
