Content Summary: Irving's Eugene Aram is so sad it has laden her heart with grief. She thanks him but is dulled with crying. (Postscript:) She liked to hear Irving play - someday they may play duets together. She has missed her brother since his second unfortunate marriage as they would play for hours together.

Notes: Irving played the piano in 'Eugene Aram' but the sound was provided by a pianist in the wings. Addressed: Dear Stricken Heart. Her brother is possibly the Geoffrey Taylor who later played small parts at the Lyceum.

Content Summary: Since he has written so little on the theatre he has not asked for free seats, but would like to see 'The Lady of Lyons' on either Thursday or Friday.
