Author: Mansfield, Richard >>
Address: Auditorium Hotel, Chicago
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: [1898], Dec., 16 Friday
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: He is glad Irving is getting well, and is sure a tour of America with his old repertoire would be profitable. 'Cyrano de Begerac' is a growing success but he does not know how it would fare in London. In America the press cannot kill a good thing. If Irving does not care to play the arduous part of Cyrano himself Mansfield might be interested and would share the profits. He would have to know at once. If the season were profitable there are other plays London has not seen. A.M. Palmer is now his manager and will help Irving if required without payment. He wished to see Irving in London but one week was too short for all he had to do.

Author: Pinero, Sir Arthur Wing >>
Address: 63 Hamilton Terrace, N.W.
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: 1898, Dec., 16 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: Even if he has not left cards at Grafton St, Irving is constantly in his heart and mind. He hears news through common friends that Irving is mending quickly. When he returns he may want to spare himself fatigue. Pinero will be free from his responsibilities to [John] Hare by the end of February and will be glad to help Irving rehearse his new production. He suggests what he could do - thanks in part to what he learned from Irving. No need to reply unless Irving needs a lieutenant. (Postscript) His memory of Cyrano is good if Irving returns to that play.
