| Content Summary: |
Thanks for Acts I & II. He has sent Hichens duplicates. He has no particular fancy for Elton, but thinks a dissyllable would be better considering the frequency the name is used and ease of memorising for audience. However if Irving fancies Tregenna - so be it. He supposes 'g' is hard, which he prefers to Trejenna. In haste. |

With stamped envelope. Irving seems to have chosen his name as main character in 'The Medicine Man', by Traill and Robert Hichens. |

His talk and encouragement that morning has done Robertson good. He was so touched he forgot to thank him properly. It was quick work and now he has a reaction, but will recover in a day or two. Their relations have always been pleasant and that morning's sympathy crowns everything. |

| Content Summary: |
Miss Kingston had met him and asked if there were a part for her in his new play. He gathered she was not quite free. He is writing to her as enclosed lest Irving should think Jones was making the overtures. (Postscript at head:) Neither Wyndham nor he would think of engaging her if Irving wished her to continue in 'Sans Gêne'. |

| Notes: |
Gertrude Kingston acted as Ellen Terry's understudy, but was clearly eventually released as she appeared later during the run of Jones' 'The Liars' which opened on 6th October. |
