She must trouble Irving again. By an unaccountable mistake Mrs Bromley who sent the invitation cards for their dinner put 23rd instead of 30th. She apologises and hopes Irving is free on 30th. They will not be happy without him. She knows he has no time to write but she will be near the Lyceum the next afternoon and he can leave a word with Mr Stoker. |

Lord Coleridge had sent Irving his son, Stephen's, version of Schiller's 'Don Carlos'. Stephen Coleridge had yet to meet Irving. Coleridge annotates this letter to say that Irving replied with 'Exquisite humbuggery'! |
