Address: -
Date: 1877, Sept., 24 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: In reply to Fitzgerald's letter outlining plot of 'Vanderdecken' he would like the entrance of the Dutchman to end the first Act; he fancies it would be stronger. Asks Fitzgerald to write to Mrs Bateman what he has written to Irving. She prefers to receive a letter direct; a little bit of personal vanity which Fitzgerald will understand. Irving has not told her of the letter which he returns to save Fitzgerald trouble in repetition. Her address is Prince's Theatre, Bradford. They are there until Thursday night then after, Newcastle-on-Tyne. Irving likes the procession and demon and thinks Fitzgerald is mastering things. He has just arrived and writes in great haste to save delay.

Notes: 'Vanderdecken' opened at Lyceum under Mrs Bateman's management on 8th June, 1878. There is a postscript referring to the back cabin of a ship, but largely illegible.

Content Summary: A dear delightful letter. Irving has been to Bolton Abbey where she has been in the past. She imagines Irving there with Trin. She thanks him for the little Shamrock and the Cheese which the whole Brigade will enjoy. Mr Bartlett is going out in the yacht to superintend the things sent out, under Layard. The Baroness thought he would be suitable, and he is glad to go. She imagines the yacht at Constantinople flying the Baroness's flag, which she describes. She sends good wishes, but is still in darkness. (Postscript) The Baroness laughs at Mrs Brown's letters and her dictation.

Content Summary: John sends a greeting already that day - the answer to the charming letter just received will be sent to Scarborough in case of mistake. They are greatly pleased with the feathered novelties from Bradford. A lavender wrapper was mentioned but has not arrived. ... John wrote the day before to Bradford and hopes Irving received it. She makes several whimsical references about the Sheffield Wonder, and the dogs. (Postscript) Look for the ghost in the old Abbey at Whitby ...

Notes: Dictated to Baroness Burdett-Coutts. John seems to be a dog, presumably corresponding with Irving's Trin. The Sheffield Wonder is the large cheese to be sent by Irving. See Letter 593.
