Content Summary: She received his telegram. Can he come the next Sunday? After that she will be at Loton and she wants him to look over her part in Sir Baldwyn's comedy. Sir Baldwyn has sent her a plan of the stage setting and Mr Godwin is coming to "coach" her. She mentions Leonora. Has he noticed the press is turning? She wishes he had brown rather than pink leggings. Tell her if he is tired of her criticisms and also if he is coming - she needs him for her part as L[ad]y Scapegrace. Lionel Tennyson writes agreeing that Irving is magnificent.
