| Content Summary: |
A terrible journey - he is sorry about Mabel & hopes she is better. In Laurence's season he is doing as well as expected as he "protects" the house, and play and business are satisfactory. Before advising about its future he would like Laurence's future ideas. They will meet in three months. He thinks a sequence of events would be useful in the programme - not all, for there is something wrong with a play that needs explanation. The enclosed is a rough idea, better reduced, for Laurence to look at and alter. They tell him that Nello & Malatesta are too alike in the murder scene, adding to the confusion. Could they put Nello in red? His love to Mabel; good friends Sorley & Andrew Mudie(?). Laurence is enjoying his work after rest, and Irving the rest after his spell of work. |

Mabel Hackney was Laurence's wife. Irving discusses the production of 'Dante' which Laurence had translated and overseen at Drury Lane, before taking the production to America where it was not successful. |

| Content Summary: |
The rest will do Loveday good as he had a lot of work the last season. The weather seems awful everywhere. Miss Terry writes from Bruges, quite near Loveday, where she will be to 22nd. He has written to 12 Henrietta St, Covent Garden giving Loveday's address, so Loveday will probably hear from her. She says she would like 'Sans Gêne' so parts, music, scenery, dresses etc. had better be got together - more trouble. Irving will probably stay there for another fortnight, then go to Margate for 2 or 3 days to see poor Toole, then settle down. Laurence & Co. are getting on well - expenses under £100 and the last week cleared £30. Notices good. Amusing about 'Dante' in Leeds. Flanagan and Sardou - Moreau must fight it out. |
