Author: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: Hindhead Beacon Hotel, Haslemere
Recipient: Loveday, Henry Joseph "Harry" >>
Address: -
Date: 1901, Jan., 8 
Document Type: Letter
Content Summary: He is sorry for Loveday's lumbago. [Fergus] Hume wrote quite a reasonable letter (in answer to Irving's) proposing to sell all rights, and the next day Willersby sent an extraordinary letter asking why he had not replied to Hume who was in a dangerous state of excitement. Like Loveday he thinks they will be well out of it and he is sure Loveday told them that the annulling of contracts had not been at Irving's request. He encloses a cheque. He thinks it advisable to get a few lines from Hume making over to Irving and his heirs for £850 the sole rights in a 4 act play 'The Vestal'. Irving is not so suspicious of him as his partner, to whom he will give £50 for the music. All right about Paton - he'll be glad. See Mackenzie about the music. See Barnes (letter enclosed). He would like him to play Menenius which he'll do splendidly, probably for same salary Waller pays him. Snowed up.
