Notes: The season opened on 18th September with 'The Corsican Brothers'. Inserted with this letter was a 1p. note saying that it would be best for Irving to call or for her to call on him to make her request personally. The significance of this is not known, and it may possibly belong with the letter of 12th October (No.865) where Irving makes reference to a request.
