God bless Loveday! He is very much better and will be "all right" on Monday. (At head:) Put special Advert overleaf in all dailies on Monday. "Mr Irving having recovered from his severe hoarseness will re-appear as Hamlet - tonight." Put special advert in Observer also, not changing present advert. It will be good to get in any paras. Stoker should write a line to each paper asking them to announce Irving "all right" again. |

| Content Summary: |
She lists the gentry who drank Irving's health, and have all gone - Mr Bartlett leaving early. She discusses that night's performance of 'Hamlet' in Irving's absence in some detail - all the subordinates did their best and his substitute was unaffected. She appreciated details of the production more than at the first performance, and thanks Irving for the attention to their comfort. Could Irving put off his return, leaving Monday for just a rehearsal? Would he like her to go with friends on Saturday? Mrs Reid was sad to have no Irving, but everyone was loyal, which he deserves, but loyalty is not automatic ... |
