Thanks for the box. He has written to Miss Bateman as discretely as possible since he has not heard from Irving. He has been loyal to Irving and refuses to let the play to her. |

| Notes: |
Irving's ten year option on 'Charles I' had expired. Wills had asked Irving to suggest how to write to Isabel Bateman, but Irving's noted reply does not seem to have been sent. |

Letter (1 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
He has not forgotten his promise of the last Sunday to withdraw his advertisement from the 'Era' but was too late. He will withdraw it until the tone of the paper towards their profession alters - which does not seem probable. |

| Notes: |
This may possibly relate to discussions at the setting up of the Actors' Association after a meeting on 5th March 1891. Irving was elected President and Brough one of the Vice-Presidents. Other letters refer to Irving ending his boycott in 1891. |
