| Content Summary: | He apologises elaborately for not sufficiently appreciating the kindness of others. The previous night he was at the Garrick for the first time since the event which had occasioned Irving's touching message. He is grateful for the invitation through Bram Stoker to the first night of 'Becket' and looks forward to Monday even anxiously, as he had heard from Toole that Irving had been unwell and may be overtaxing his strength. | ||

| Content Summary: | She will only go up in time for the play on Monday and sleeps at Stafford House. She must return early on Tuesday for unpleasant legal business which she describes. Gennoud (her servant) is going too and she does not know how she will manage without him. He so knows her past life that it is like losing a bit of her identity. She is sorry Irving cannot come on Sunday - telegram any Sunday he can. Glycerine gargling only brings temporary relief. | ||

| Notes: | Presumably Irving's sore throat was his excuse for not going. | ||
