Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: She thanks Irving for the gratification afforded her on the first night. She saw him in the 'Bells' and the comedy but his exquisite conception of the character of Hamlet was the crowning point. She was never so entranced before, and could discover new beauty night after night. She hopes she will see him in her adopted home in New York and make him welcome in their house in town and country and she knows her husband will be charmed to have Irving on his yacht, and he will receive benefits at their country home before resuming acting.

Content Summary: He was thinking of her the previous night and asked his friend Toole to send him a box for her. If she cannot use it perhaps she knows someone who can.

Then on until June, he supposes.
