Content Summary: On this occasion she gives name and address as she asks a great favour. She is shortly to leave England and is desperate to meet Irving in person. Throughout her life she has studied Shakespeare and has been dissatisfied with performances all over Europe. Disliked 'Romeo & Juliet' at the Haymarket but found her ideal embodiment in Irving's Macbeth. She does not know which of his subsequent three performances she admires most and praises his person, ability as an actor, as a public man and as a private man coping with sorrows of his private life. She offers him esteem and thanks.

Notes: Well written in continental style. Irving's labours have 'added many a silver hair to your dark curls and made your delicate frame thinner'!

Address: -
Date: 1876, April, 27 
Document Type: Letter (5 p.)
Content Summary: Remarks on absurd rumour that Aveling and Irving were brothers. Heard it has caused Irving annoyance. Joke was made initially in Manchester when he accompanied Irving there. Dick Bateman responsible who was rebuked by his father. Aveling on one occasion, when not himself told the story to Mr Standing as they returned from Wimbledon Volunteers Review. His crime is not to have contradicted reports. It would be an honour to be related to Irving but would not help his career as lecturer at New College and London Hospital. Apologises.

Date: 1876, April, 27 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: She has been in Wales for 16 days where she found winter and leaves spring. They have not seen 'Queen Mary'. Can they the next Tuesday evening? She fears the play does not make an attractive acting drama but hopes it will repay the care Irving has expended on it. She has heard nothing about Buckstone's benefit. She regrets he only asked her to do Lady Teazle, a part she never liked which did not suit her. She has had a curious account of Rossi's 'Hamlet' from a friend, and would not have the patience to sit it out.

Notes: Tennyson's 'Queen Mary' opened on 18th April. Irving was asked to play Joseph Surface in 'The School for Scandal' for J.B. Buckstone's benefit on 8th June.
