Brereton had better see to this and pay the money as Mr Moore has referred the matter to Irving. It involves £2/14/-. These libraries ought to be hurried up ... system is always to have library a/cs settled every week. It is now time to send the money to America. The Colonel properly suggested that the money be sent through Rothschild to the Governor of Galveston, requesting him to hand it to the Mayor. It would be well in the letter to mention Ochiltree's name, with suggested wording. |

A negative photocopy with envelope front; typewritten transcript in THM/37/1/40. The libraries are ticket agencies. The money is that raised at the instigation of Colonel Tom Ochiltree for sufferers from the Galveston hurricane by a charity performance at Drury Lane on 16th October, see Brereton p.286-287. Irving went on tour on 22nd October. |

Marie Corelli's book was probably 'The Master Christian'; 'Zaza' was by David Belasco. |
