They have to admit defeat over 'The Medicine Man'. He wonders if it would do better in the provinces but London has rejected it. He praises the production and blames the failure on temporary word of mouth. He is disappointed but sorry for the company's lack of success. It is an honour to have written for the Lyceum and created a character for Irving which he hopes may be memorable. He hopes one day to be associated with a real Lyceum success. |

Thanks for Irving's kind letter. As he says they must hope for better luck the next time. Play-writing and play producing seem to be pure Monte Carlo, as Irving remarked the other day. He details negotiations with a German gentlemen who is offering 50% of his own percentages - Traill wants an alternative offer of a sum down. He asks Irving for a few minutes' conversation. |
