| Content Summary: | She is better with voice returning, but has to stay in so has given her box. Irving's June announcements are clear and attractive. She encloses £5 for Mr Marston's benefit for which Irving lends the Lyceum. They will dine early at 7 with a long evening for the work she has rather selfishly co-opted Irving. Come as early as he likes, but she forgot to tell him the night before she has to see friends between 5 and 6. She hears he played well the previous night. (Postscript) She sends the Chronicle with a letter he would like to read, and refers again to his natural endowments, and to the fuss the Comédie Française are making. How are they to be received? | ||

| Content Summary: | She sends some tokens which will please Irving. She had lent her Box to the Old Revision Company who Mr Aston thought ought to see Shylock. She is glad at their stirring the waters of thought and feeling. She thanks Irving for his signature and also for the poor Consumptive address. She thinks home comforts better and will send Mrs Green to find what would soothe. She leaves word that the horse is ready for Irving if wanted the next day. (Postscript) Mr Austin is there cataloguing and seems nice and cheerful "soberly"... | ||
