| Content Summary: |
They open at the Court Theatre on 8th February and she wants Martin Harvey to play Algy in 'Sweet Nancy' and a good part in the first piece. Irving had agreed to release him for a good part, and he was successful in it at the Criterion matinee. They have only taken the theatre for 2 months with an option so she cannot offer work beyond 'Sweet Nancy' but wants him to be able to return to Irving and not be out of work through her. She asks Irving to agree and as soon as possible. |

He is sorry to hear of Irving's accident and long seclusion from the stage. Until friends came from England he had no idea Irving's absence would be so long. They say he is abroad convalescing. What a disappointment after such a triumphant first night of 'Richard III'. |

| Notes: |
Irving ruptured his knee ligaments after the first night, but did not go abroad. He returned to the Lyceum at the end of February. |

| Content Summary: |
He watches sympathetically reports of Irving's recovery; with American interest like that shown by doctors at a Lotos Club dinner given by their friend Horace Porter, that Irving's leg was kept in a "cage" not plaster. Affectionate greeting to Irving and Ellen Terry. He reports on Margaret Mather's 'Cymbeline'. She had seen and copied the Lyceum production. It had a magnificent setting & he disapproves if copied. He sends a programme as evidence. He does not expect to hear of 'George Washington' for some time, knowing how busy they are. He is having an English copyright production in London on 29th of 'Bonny Prince Charley', an adaptation of Coppée's'Les Jacobites' for the Tabers. It will open in Pittsburgh on 4th February and in New York the following week. 'Heartsease ' is doing nicely. |
