Content Summary: | She knew a letter to 'Mrs Isaac Penberthy' was from Irving. She thanks God he has not forgotten her. God is her comfort. Her health is good but her sight is dim. Her memory is good. She has had bitter trials but is now in homely lodgings with friends. Mr Victor intended to take her to Clevedon in the Autumn but she was not well enough. She intends to go in the summer to relations there. Mr Victor has been ill but she knows someone will take care of her now that Johnny [Irving] has offered to assist her. Her allowance from John [her son] is £48 per annum but she needs more attendance because of her blindness. Kate will rejoice she has heard from Irving. Her family are getting on comfortably. She never hears from her son. Fondest, dearest love. | ||

Notes: | Presumably dictated. To 'My dearest Johnny'. The Rev. John Victor had married Irving's aunt Jane Behenna, and had also probably been his schoolmaster in Halsetown. | ||

Content Summary: | She sends thanks for the day's proof of his love. She often thinks of the happy days they enjoyed at Halsetown. She prays for him every day. May God induce him to give up his profession and spend the rest of his life in His service. God's loving care spared him when he was upset the other day. Her room was set on fire by a lamp being upset. She was not burnt but several of her things were damaged. The shock was great but she has got over it. Will she ever have the pleasure of seeing him once more? With fondest love. | ||

Content Summary: | Suggestions for a scheme to provide financial support for [Sims?] Reeves. He does not belong to the Royal Society of Musicians and they only give £5 in case of distress. A benefit concert would be comparatively easy - also Civic [Civil] List and Charterhouse. Reeves has not made any direct appeal. Sullivan likes to lead, otherwise expect no work from him. Mackenzie would follow him. W.H. Cummings would support a good cause. Mackenzie would come to town if necessary. He is at work in Malvern and enjoying it. | ||

Content Summary: | Irving and his other friends whose note accompanied his princely draft will already have received his hurried reply while the messenger waited. He wishes to say more. Irving's goodness means that all day he can connect its peace, consolation and freedom from anxiety with Irving's sympathy and help. He will never forget Irving's Werner. The agony and pathetic vigilance of yearning paternal love reached their climax on Wednesday. About a week before, Irving sent him a cheque for £100 on account through Wright. Should he send it to Irving personally or pay it into his account at Coutts? | ||

Notes: | Irving organized a benefit matinée of 'Werner' for Marston at the Lyceum on 1st June 1887. | ||
