Date: 1899, Sept., 22 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: Thanks for letter and cheque for £21. He thinks halving the reduced price is unfair as Irving did not criticise the sketch nor see the full design. Two treatments of the Robespierre figure as suggested was not possible. Would Irving not reconsider the payment as he and [James] Pryde cannot afford the loss.

Address: [Glasgow?]
Date: 1899, Sept., 28 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: Rucke presents compliments and praises superb performance the last evening but there was much audible comment during the repeated curtain calls when Mr. Stanford did not appear. Knowing Irving's generous nature to young artistes his 'Ardent Admirer' asks 'Why?'

Notes: Note in Irving's hand 'Impossible to account for such impression as curtain invariably raised upon all characters'. The actor was presumably Henry B. Stanford, 1872-1921.

Date: 1899, Sept., 30 
Document Type: Letter (1 p.)
Content Summary: He has received a letter from one of the Hon. Medical Officers of the A.A. of which he sends a copy and of his reply. He understands the situation. The Association promises Medical Officers more than it can perform. Seeing this the Council have decided not to enlarge the list at present. If Irving can oblige Dr Pollard, Cruikshanks is sure he will do so.
Published: -
Notes: Written on the back of duplicated copies of 2 typewritten letters. On 29/9/1899 Dr W.R. Pollard complains to Cruikshanks he was refused tickets to see Irving at both Theatre Royal, Manchester & Royal Court Theatre, Liverpool because of heavy bookings even though the Box Office for the latter was not yet open. This is supposed to be a privilege of Medical Officers. In his reply Cruikshanks apologises and says Acting Managers have great difficulties when Irving tours. He is sending the letter to Irving.
