Alexander had sent a message via Stoker. Terriss had written to the Gattis asking if they would extend his absence for a further six months. Alexander would ask Irving if he were wanted that season, and, if not, the Gattis would send Terriss a decided answer. Irving would not have to pay Alexander until the end of their agreement on June 1st. Will Irving want him for the next season? He hopes so. |

Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
Writes about deserving Matthias Mull who is editing Shakespeare and produced good editions of 'Macbeth' and 'Julius Caesar'. Good references but no financial backing. Wants someone to advertise his works so he can sell them. Could this be Irving? He pities a man who has worked forty-five years in India, poor and good health destroyed. Hopes Irving has returned from Ireland [?] Would he like to see one of Mull's works? |

He is glad that Irving approves of his treatment of that individual. His wife is still ill with her bronchial troubles but that kindest of creatures, Mackenzie, is there every week. She is feeble and forbidden to go out at night or she ought to have been to see Irving. They hear compliments of Irving's play on all sides. Monckton who is usually phlegmatic is enthusiatic about it. |
