| Content Summary: |
She thanks Irving for the telegram. The Baroness had a letter from Mr Windham [Wyndham?] that morning with a pleasing account of Irving, and newspapers. Five weeks to Christmas Eve - Mr Bartlett cannot be back. She gives news of friends and describes at length a visit at tea time by Princess Mary, Duchess of Teck, with Dubosq! She does not agree with Belfast that Richard is a more difficult part than Hamlet. The last evening Mr Clough read them a lecture on the stage and the drama by a nonconformist minister who approved of them! She wishes Irving's paper on public amusement could be reprinted. What work he has done in appraising his Art and Shakespeare. |

| Content Summary: |
His amusing and interesting letter just received - but she has been worried as The Emerald is an odd stone. She remembers the D- L- Belfast theatre as charming. She is pleased the Hendersons liked the King. Send them a telegram that he is safe. The day before the Belgian Minister came (Baron Solognes?) and was enthusiastic about 'The Lyons Mail' and Irving's other roles. She is glad the Comforters were of use. They are glad he had a torchlight procession proposed, and could refuse it.... |

Dictated to Baroness Burdett-Coutts. The 'comforters' are the 'muffleteers' sent to Irving. |

P-- was a thing to be avoided. She had much talk with Ld R[osebery?] who regretted not seeing more of Irving, and praised his genius. Irving will have received her letter about the Belgian Minister. She remarks on a well written paper about 'The Bells', and returns to Irving's view on the scene between Hamlet and Ophelia and other aspects of his performance. How good of Irving about the Stock Company, as reported in her 'Theatre'. The [?] President's letter was very pleasant in response to such a kind offer. |
