Content Summary: She refers to Irving's telegram boding bad news and a sad letter. They are glad all is going well and would like to make a bonfire of certain malice.

Sir James Lacaita told her Gladstone and the Dean of Westminster were sorry for Irving's absence. She speaks of the lines from Herrick sent by Irving and sends him a favourite poem "The Doubting Heart". Her compliments to his Manchester audience.

Author: Brown, Hannah >>
Address: Stratton St
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: 1877, Aug., 15 
Document Type: Letter (8 p.)
Content Summary: The little remembrances are really touching. Some years ago they spent a happy fortnight at the Alderley Hotel with friends at the time of the Manchester Exhibition. Now Manchester casts a cloud on Irving's letters. It is kind of Irving to propose reading for the Cause. The Baroness has had many answers including some that she should only support Christians. Irving is wrong about Mr Bartlett who has similar interests. Her face is still half covered, she needs strength but Irving's stray telegrams and friendly letters help. She will be glad when he leaves the smoke and is safe back with Trin. He is not to sacrifice a Sunday though she will be glad to see him.

Notes: Dictated to Baroness Burdett-Coutts. Irving received congratulations on his knighthood from the Alderley Hotel. He presumably offered to read for the Baroness's Turkish Relief Fund.

Author: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: 348, Oxford Road, Manchester (15A Grafton Street printed heading crossed out)
Recipient: Austin, Louis Frederick >>
Address: Prince Albert Inn, Broadstairs, Kent
Date: 1877, Aug., 15 Wednesday
Document Type: Letter (3+ p.)
Content Summary: Article is splendid but observe all his cuts. He has avoided alluding to the press or critics. Austin can add to his rough notes in the same strain. Leave out the M.S. which he does not like except where marked. Don't sign the article - he is known as Austin - use "A-". Austin's original ending could not be better. He will be in London on Tuesday.
Published: -
Notes: Negative photocopy with envelope front; typewritten transcript in THM/37/1/20. According to Laurence Irving Austin did not become Irving's secretary until 1881, but as a gifted writer had clearly worked unofficially for some time.
