He hopes they will meet at Leicester where he is for 2 nights on 2 Septr. Get all good fellows together that he can. Any supper should be on Tuesday. He supposes Bradshaw has not yet heard of the Bateman's tragedy. The tour and future management of the Lyceum are entirely in his hands. He suggested they engage a new Ophelia the next season. This so wounded their vanity that the separation was inevitable and it has come. Keep it to himself for a day or two, but it is for the best, with a bright dramatic future for the Lyceum. He has much to tell. He is staying with the Baroness until the next Saturday and he will glad of a line. His love to Bradshaw's wife. |

| Content Summary: |
The fly is waiting to take them from that horrible place. Her husband will be in London the next week and her address will be in Matlock. If Irving will write to her there or see her husband at Longridge Road or the Haymarket Theatre - will he make her some definite proposition and she will answer definitively. She thinks she understands he wishes her to be at the Lyceum the next season and she most earnestly desires to be with him. She hopes they can arrange. (Postscript:) She gives three addresses until 30th September. 'Dora' has been an extraordinary success. Charles Reade was called for and yelled at. Oddly it was well acted in London some years before and failed. |
