How did Trin react? She gives news of Rev. Henry White, and discusses Richard (III) and Louis again. She does not expect answers to gossiping letters.

Content Summary: They have pleasant memories of the manager and his daughter. She expresses concern for Irving's health. How did he like the eucalyptus? She is sending a small bottle of Thieves' Vinegar used at the time of the Plague in England against infection. They feel indignation over a revolutionary act ... Sir Willison Jenner presented the Memorial... As to the picture - the sensible people deserve all the courtesy Irving can show, but she hopes it won't be damaged on the long journeys. Is Trin well? The vinegar would be too strong for him so they send a few bunches of lavender to sniff. The Baroness had a letter from Mrs Balson (?) who says Irving is enchanting Glasgow. Send the odd telegram to save trouble.
