He thanks Irving for his kindness in meeting his suggestion. He is a very nervous man and apologises. He will change the unsympathetic part so that Ellen Terry will play in it. He met Ellen Terry through Martin Harvey and would like an interview with her. He thanks Irving for speaking to George Alexander for him. Irving must think him very vulgar. |
