Recipient: Fitzgerald, Percy Hetherington >>
Address: -
Date: 1877, Sept., 24 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: In reply to Fitzgerald's letter outlining plot of 'Vanderdecken' he would like the entrance of the Dutchman to end the first Act; he fancies it would be stronger. Asks Fitzgerald to write to Mrs Bateman what he has written to Irving. She prefers to receive a letter direct; a little bit of personal vanity which Fitzgerald will understand. Irving has not told her of the letter which he returns to save Fitzgerald trouble in repetition. Her address is Prince's Theatre, Bradford. They are there until Thursday night then after, Newcastle-on-Tyne. Irving likes the procession and demon and thinks Fitzgerald is mastering things. He has just arrived and writes in great haste to save delay.
Published: -
Notes: 'Vanderdecken' opened at Lyceum under Mrs Bateman's management on 8th June, 1878. There is a postscript referring to the back cabin of a ship, but largely illegible.
