Letter (2 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
If Irving could come once more to his studio for 10 minutes he could make a success of his work. He knows Sunday is the only chance before Irving leaves on his tour and will wait all day hoping Irving will turn up. He will do his best work with Irving there in his own atmosphere. |

| Notes: |
Menpes' introduction to his book on Irving does not identify which American tour was concerned. In 1899 Irving left on 11th September - later tours were in 1901 and 1903. |

Apologises for misunderstandings over the Robespierre poster, and hopes 40 guineas not excessive - it is 15 guineas lower than usual price. Regrets poster cannot be used as it would have been liked in America. It is uncomplimentary to have their work shelved. |

He cannot agree. As Nicholson went on with the work despite Irving's telegram from Ilfracombe to suspend it, he should bear the loss as well as Irving, who encloses cheque for 20 guineas. Sincerely regrets cannot use the work. |

| Notes: |
A draft reply in Irving's hand to Letter 7944 dated by Stoker 21/9/99 . The poster was too late for use on the British and American tours, clealy partly due to failures in communication. Irving sent half the sum requested. |
