Content Summary: She was sorry not to have met him the previous summer during her stay in London. When the sad news of poor Harry Montague's death arrived Irving was out of town. His death has left a blank in their home where he was loved. When she last saw him Irving talked of being with Mr Wallack. His views may have changed since he has a theatre of his own, but Mr Wallack has told her to say that he would be delighted to have him. The theatre holds £200 and has held more. They can make things pleasant for Irving if he comes. She hopes he has succeeded beyond his expectations. (Postscript:) Mr Wallack reopens his theatre in September and hopes to hear from Irving.

Content Summary: Fresh air will do Irving good. Mr Hassard told her his hospitality lasted long on Friday. Several friends come to drive quietly with her. That evening she is going to St Stephen's for a church performance of Handel's Messiah music, portions of which Mrs Brown was fond of, but she never thinks of her as there. The next day she goes to the Flower Mission and will give Irving's order. On Monday she will be among Irving's Easter offerings. She recounts the effect of Hamlet on a school teacher. She does not like the idea of the Exchange Irving mentions.

Content Summary: Mr Pym sent Irving his card to use to go into St Paul's but Mr Sinclair can take all the party in together as meeting might be difficult. She asks Irving to be there at 6.15 the next day (Sunday) or they will call if he is not there by 20 past.

If his cold is not better the visit can be deferred.
