Document Type: Letter (5 p.)
Content Summary: Has just called on McHardy, but found he was at Margate, and will call again in a few days. He managed a little work at Crowborough which he praises, and went on to Eastbourne, returning on Saturday. He is very busy with new play, old plays & Galveston Fund Benefit, which will be a success, foundations stones, &c. and his holiday is over. He has checked the alphabetical list of characters he has played, the only one kept methodically, and refers to Earlybird in 'Podgers' (Toole said [John] Hare played it with him in Liverpool) and Thornton in 'Turning the tables' when Jack Humphreys was one of Tooles' best parts. Irving has deliberately seen few people in London, but all are so intent on the elections this was easy. How long will Toole stay in Margate? Arlton will let him know & he sends him greetings.

Recipient: Loveday, Henry Joseph "Harry" >>
Address: -
Date: [1900], [Oct.], [15?] 
Document Type: Letter
Content Summary: He sees no mention of 'Eugene Aram' in the pars that day. In addition to appearances of Sir Henry Irving as Corporal B[rewster] and Mr Tree as [Fagin?] they then mention Grossmith & Bourchier but no 'Eugene Aram'. The pars obviously come from Tree's hive. Irving inclines to put in an advertisement himself. What does Loveday think? Love to Mrs Loveday.
