Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
She is trying to get a box from Mr Bancroft for that night. She is looking forward to seeing Charles [I] once more, and life is sweet and full of pleasures. When she saw Charles in '78 she made herself ill. She now understands how natural it was for Drummond to die of a broken heart. (Postscript:) She sent a note and a drawing to Irving the day before and hopes it arrived safely. |

| Content Summary: |
This is a catastrophe. He did not answer Irving's note sooner as he hoped for a favourable result but he is fearfully disappointed. He encloses Mr Pyott's letter. He has failed to arrange matters to Reeves' advantage. He had no idea Irving would carry on his season so late. Deeply regrets not being with Irving for his benefit night. Can he come next Saturday morning as they wish to see Irving as 'Carlo Primo'. |

| Notes: |
See Letter 3438. Sims Reeves wished to perform at Irving's benefit. Pyott's letter not in File.
'Carlo Primo' = 'Charles I'. |

Great wish to see Irving again in 'Charles I' that night -it is one of his great parts. Are there two stalls or a Box left? The Box is not necessary as it is only herself and Mrs Greville. No chance by sending to Mitchell's. |
