With reference to his son William Robert noticed above he writes: 'I took a long walk with Bob this morning and had a long talk with him - he seems perfectly settled - Latimer says he gets on famously - his health is very much better and he looks well'. He asks her to write and tell him 'how the Concert went off last night and what was in the house - Mr Latimer is laying down all kinds of plans for my going to all sorts of places but I think I can come home at the end of the week'. If he finds 'any difficulty in getting away' 'Greenwood' - i.e. Thomas Greenwood the lessee of Sadler's Wells - is to 'send a line to say I am wanted'.

Lanner and music by Mons. Wenzel on February 14th 1898 that first marked her "and for many years to come" as a London "star." The ballet gave her scope for some wonderful and proved immensely popular. It was a novel idea artistically carried out and illustrated the history and power of the Fourth Estate. A number of charming coryphees were ingeniously attired as representatives of the various newspapers boys' costumes indicating the morning and girls' the evening journals. The venerable Times was typified by a man in the guise of Father Time with hour-glass and other symbols of his ancient office and accompanied by a retinue. Mme. Cavallazzi represented Caxton Father of the Printing Press; Mile. Zanfretta the Spirit of Fashion; and there were typical costumes for The Standard The Daily Telegraph The Globe The Daily Mail then two years old! The Illustrated London News who announced that she was " Established 1842 " The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News The Lady's Pictorial The Sketch The Referee and others too numerous to name.

Lanner and music by Mons. Wenzel.' See Image. Without place or date. [ Ballet performed at the Empire Theatre, London in 1898.] unknown
