| Content Summary: |
He asks Irving to read his paper in that week's 'The World' on Sir Theodore Martin's Life of his wife (Helen Faucit). It contains references to Irving and especial praise of his greatest triumphs 'Macbeth' & 'King Lear'. Irving should see 'Herod' - Merivale thinks it the finest English play of his time. He does not know Stephen Phillips but wishes that Irving had. Beerbohm Tree has done it marvellously well, but, of course, it won't pay. |

He sends good wishes and acknowledge's Irving's cable. They have done good business despite the presence of Bernhardt and Coquelin. He gave Irving's message to old Winter who had not heard since May. New York is much the same. Lou(?) Sullivan's death is much felt. He has read in the press that Miss Terry is leaving at the end of (the season?). The audiences are dull and heavy. He hopes Irving will write. |

| Content Summary: |
Bancroft has agreed to give his Dickens reading for the Actors' Benevolent Fund benefit if Irving will be chairman. Bancroft thinks Irving will be acting round London during February, and if he chooses any Monday, Thursday or Friday the programme could take place either there or at the Haymarket. Alexander has not told the Committee as Bancroft stipulates Irving's presence. Alexander hopes this is convenient. |

The answer seems to be that Irving is away all January and cannot act, BS 21/12/00. Irving was on tour in February and March 1901. December 21 was in fact a Friday. |
