Pleased to leave Box that night for Fitzgerald. Asks him to come round to see him if only for a moment. Sorry he can't be with them the next Sunday. Glad that Fitzgerald has resolved about the 'Declaration'(?) - too good a subject to let go. In haste as just off to theatre. |

| Content Summary: |
Old Dr Quinn who remembers Mrs Siddons before the OP riots was enchanted by Irving's Macbeth as was Lord Ronald [Gower] and the Duchess [of Sutherland] who will write. She comments on Mrs Crowe's interpretation and concludes that no great tragic actor and actress flourished together in the same century. She mentions friends Joséphine and Leonora and thanks Irving for the pink leaf, which she already had. She is now devoting herself to Queen Mary. |
| Published: |
L. Irving, p.262-63 conflates with Letter 1231. |
| Notes: |
The OP riots were in 1809. Mrs Crowe was Kate Bateman who played Lady Macbeth. Mrs Greville was studying her friend Alfred Tennyson's 'Queen Mary' which Irving was to produce in April 1876. |

If Irving can't come the next morning let Byron know by 11 that night - but he has reserved him a box. |

| Notes: |
This probably relates to one of Byron's plays, performed at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in 1875 or 1878; there is a trace of an 1875 watermark. |
