Date: 1898, Jan., 17 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: Le Sage has told him what Irving said to him on behalf of the Council of the Actors' Association. He is grateful to Irving, Wyndham, Hare and others less well known to him for their recognition of his and his father's work to advance the highest interests and social status of the dramatic profession. It was a labour of love and great pain was caused by the recent deplorable incident. It has no connection with his paper but is of the gravest interest. Clement Scott has resigned and he has told him his only course is absolute apology and retraction. He thinks Scott may not have been himself, but he must repair the harm he has caused. He does not think Irving's profession can be damaged by the 'Great Thoughts' campaign but understands the resentment. He once more thanks the Association.
