Notes
Mrs Barry sent word she was so ill she could not come out for the Pageant The Jubilee If she did she could not play in the Mourning Bride on Monday I waited on her by the managers orders told her they would excuse her playing on Monday if she would come out do her part in Pageant as it was a thing of great consequence to them they desird and expected as she had begun it as the Tragic Muse that she would continue it as long as she was able Her answer was that as they seemd to think it of such consequence she would come out do it tonight Monday night but after that desird to be excusd from doing it On Tuesday Morning Mr Barry sent a note that Mrs Barry was ill in her Bed could not come out till she was better Tancred Sigismunda was calld and I did not receive the note till the rehearsal was begun I also on Saturday deliver'd a message to Mrs Barry from Mr Garrick that he would never ask her to play in anything in which he was particularly interested Her answer was that was in his Rage But if his mind should alter she was ready and willing to do anything he would desire her to do - Hopkins
