Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: She is taking a young friend to Book 3d so might be out if Irving calls. She asks him to consider the precise way he transfers the previous night's proceeds to the wretched Stratford thing. She looked round his immense and very peculiar audience with satisfaction. She does not know the amount, but thinks it should not be paid without some special notice and for a special part of the Stratford concern. Irving has a battle to fight not unlike his Macbeth, and should lose no advantage, and his contribution to the Fund should not be bundled up and hidden. She is interested in the Great Bills!! and is glad Irving is coming on Friday.

Notes: 'Book 3d' may be the play by Ben Webster also known as 'Novel Expedient'. The Shakespeare Birthplace Trust was set up in 1847. Great Bills are large theatre posters.

Content Summary: She did not mean to send teaching(?) notes but that evening was the Bishop's birthday and if Irving did bring him some little present it would so please him. He appreciates Irving.
