Date: [1902?], May, 3 
Document Type: Letter (8 p.)
Content Summary: Some years before Irving expressed an interest in the dramatisation of her novel 'Marcella'. Isaac Henderson had advised her to keep the production based on her novel 'Eleanor' to herself in 5 matinees. Addison Bright is her agent. [George] Alexander offered 3 days but withdrew after the success of 'Paolo and Francesca' and [William] Gillette was then at the Lyceum and Irving in America. Bright will send Irving the play and she sets out stringent demands for its production: Irving to produce and play Manisty, with Marion Terry as Eleanor and Miss [Elizabeth] Robins as Alice, Mrs Ward to approve the rest of the cast. She describes the "woman's play" which she wants him to read at once and give an immediate answer. She does not return until 14th May and the 2nd week in June is most convenient for the play. Irving in the cast would interest the public. (Postscript:) Money is no object regarding 'Eleanor'.

Notes: Note: Addison Bright told not 7/5/02(?). Irving did not return from America until April 1902 to begin his final season at the Lyceum.
