| Content Summary: |
She thanks Irving for the gratification afforded her on the first night. She saw him in the 'Bells' and the comedy but his exquisite conception of the character of Hamlet was the crowning point. She was never so entranced before, and could discover new beauty night after night. She hopes she will see him in her adopted home in New York and make him welcome in their house in town and country and she knows her husband will be charmed to have Irving on his yacht, and he will receive benefits at their country home before resuming acting. |

She praises Irving's reading of Hamlet highly, comparing it with one of Macbeth. She hopes he will stay over Thursday in the week he goes to them. |

L. Irving, p.267-68 (in part) |
| Notes: |
There is a largely illegible incomplete note at the end, probably written by Hannah Brown, expressing admiration and wishing for further discussion. Irving had given a reading of Hamlet and Othello at the Crystal Palace in early July in aid of the London Hospital. |

| Content Summary: |
He was thinking of her the previous night and asked his friend Toole to send him a box for her. If she cannot use it perhaps she knows someone who can. He should have thanked her for the pretty pen wiper. Business keeps him in London still and he will of course not leave without seeing her. His time is short as he begins again on September 4th. Then on until June, he supposes. |
