He thinks Irving might like to read the enclosed from Lord Rosslyn whose remarks on Irving's acting and production were beyond what is gentlemanlike and refined. Mr Wills will call on Irving either at 15/G[rafton St] or the Lyceum with his good idea for Irving's donation to Stratford. (Postscript) She sends some early produce from H[olly] L[odge] which she hopes Irving will eat as Saturn did children!! |

Mrs B is not at home so he answers as the messenger is waiting. She is unable to accept Irving's invitation as she has an afternoon party which will stretch into the evening. He has an appointment with Chatterton at 4.30 so he will get down by train as best he can. What time is dinner? |

| Notes: |
Boucicault quarrelled with Chatterton, and the latter was made bankrupt in October 1879. This may be a dinner at Richmond? |
