Date: 1878, Dec., 23 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: The arrangements for Mrs Brown on Friday - Will Irving be a Pall Bearer? If so he must be waiting for them outside and not seated inside. She would like those who have tended Mrs Brown so tenderly in her bitter affliction, and Irving whose attention in her helplessness was as a son. Irving must do as he feels and shall have a seat among the mourners if not, and he will follow only where they must leave her. Messrs Bartlett, White, Aston & some others would be companions and probably Henry Wagner & Mr Simkin. She ends as Mrs Brown did "GB". (Postscript) Just a note yes or no will answer.

Notes: Mrs Brown died on 21st December, the funeral being on 27th. Irving's answer does not seem to be recorded, but it seems likely he agreed. He called on the Baroness on 25th; see Letter No.772. "GB" was used as both 'Gold Bell', and 'God Bless'.

Address: Brentford
Recipient: Irving, Florence >>
Address: [London]
Date: 1878, Dec., 23 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: He had a letter from Irving the last week which said Dr Walshe did not think her condition serious. Irving enclosed the wrong letter and then that morning says he cannot find it but that Walshe suggested Hastings or Penzance, considering the journey to the South of France would be dangerous. He asked Cross to let him know what Florence decided. Merry Christmas to her and the boys and her mother.
Published: -
Notes: Dr Walshe's letter (Letter 4246 correctly remembered) remained in Irving's files. In January 1879 Cross wrote objecting to expressions used by Florence in a letter to him and he seems to have ceased helping her. By 1880 she had turned to the lawyer Henry Jennings.
