| Content Summary: |
He learned the previous day that [Clement] Scott was once more following his theatrical profession, and therefore there can be no great anxiety about Mrs Scott. He thinks it would be fatal for another day to pass without reading an apology from Scott or a letter from Lawson - and their position in the profession will be invidious if the matter is postponed again. The charge was made three months before and they have done nothing. Wyndham feels as he does. He will call at 11.45 punctually. He hopes Irving agrees with him. |

Scott had written an article attacking the theatrical profession - Edward Lawson was his employer as owner of 'The Daily Telegraph'. See letters from Scott and Lawson on the subject. |
