Author: Terry, Dame Ellen Alice >>
Address: Tower Cottage, Winchelsea
Recipient: Stoker, Bram (Abraham) >>
Address: [London?]
Date: 1902, May, 18 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: Thanks for his letter. 1. For her the present season begins when she begins to act, on 7th June not 31st May. She does not want salary without giving service. 2. She will join Sir Henry on 12 week tour beginning in B[irming]ham 22nd September, acting 2 or 6 times a week as desired, so half her usual salary, i.e. £100 a week. 3. She cannot decide further ahead. Her "own repertoire parts" seem reduced to 2: Portia & Henrietta Maria, unless they play 'Macbeth', 'Much Ado' or 'The Cup'. No great hurry about 1903 - she will see Irving soon. She is having a good rest but exclaims about the cold.

Recipient: Burnand, Sir Francis Cowley >>
Address: -
Date: 1902, May, 20 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: Has read 'Pickwick'(?) with the greatest interest; a difficult task Burnand has accomplished well. Since they talked it over Irving's interest has somewhat cooled but had he control of a theatre he would not hesitate to produce it, backed up by something else. Burnand mentioned a fixed time for production that would be impossible for him to give but he will take the play for £500 down and a nightly fee of £10 on production & if not produced within three years from date of agreement the play to revert to Burnand. If Burnand agrees to this they could sign and seal. Between themselves no production by Irving at the Lyceum at present is any great catch and as long as his agreement with 'that Limited Company' lasts it is probable he will fall back on revivals. Yours ever.

Notes: The play title is not clear, but a version of 'Pickwick' by Burnand had originally been produced in 1889.
