| Notes: |
In 1902 Irving was recalled from Tintagel to attend the coronation of Edward VII which was postponed until 9th August from 26th June. Negotiations began with Tom Buffen Davis the manager of the Adelphi Theatre, but Irving's company went instead to Drury Lane. Bram Stoker's tale 'The Mystery of the Sea' was published in 1902. |

| Notes: |
Administration for the Actors' Address to the King, to be bound in an Album, was not always well organized. Quigley's cheque was sent on 2nd August and not acknowledged by Stoker, who was probably on holiday, until 25th August. |

Has not got Loveday's letter yet but washes his hands of the Adelphi. Too much hocus pocus with Davis, Greet and Carr. 40%, why not 60%? McKee Rankin is paying £200 a week and they ask £50 more from Irving - quite comic. Carr, Greet & Davis in collusion. What do they take him for? |
