| Content Summary: |
Congratulations from an old friend. The Dramatic Art owes its position in the Victorian Age to Irving. She praises 'Waterloo' but criticises the Somerset accent of the niece supposedly from Essex, with examples. Having spent many months near Glastonbury she is interested to hear Irving comes from near there and asks to send him something she has written in Somerset dialect. Regards from her sisters and herself. (Postscript:) Can she dedicate her next Somersetshire story to Irving? |

| Notes: |
Annie Hughes played the niece in 'Waterloo'. Irving's birthplace Keinton Mandeville is not far from Glastonbury. |
