Content Summary: ... reminiscence of Irving's dragging in Bells; which she doesn't think Mounet could do more forcefully. Where else would Irving dislike meeting him?

She will bivouac at Wilton Crescent. She mentions her plans, other theatrical matters, her relations the Probyns, and hopes Irving can come on Sunday.
