Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
She has had legal business in London - nothing pleasant and they have come there with a large and noisy lot of trippers on whom she comments unfavourably. She is keeping 31st disengaged. She refers to Sir Robert and her two sisters and describes the tall ships passing the Nore light, but not the Walrus. With the tide up it is pretty and she longs to feel the movement of the water. |

| Content Summary: |
Will Irving come to dinner the next Sunday to inaugurate another triumphant season? Would he ask Mr Stoker to send her a playbill or book of the story for Admiral Keppel? |

| 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. |

The mistake was not his about Sunday week - but he found [W.J.] Florence had suggested his room and asked 2 or 3 of his people. However it's off now, and will Tuesday 30th suit Scott instead? The enclosed £5/5/- is for old Renaud. He had hoped to see Scott the previous night. |
