Notes: Negative photocopy; typewritten transcript in THM/37/1/43. This must refer to Brereton's "The Lyceum and Henry Irving" published in 1903, which on p.278 mentions Bancroft's admirable acting. This suggests that Irving read the manuscript.

Notes: Typewritten. An illuminated album from the theatres for Edward VII had been prepared in 1902, similar to the Jubilee Address sent to Queen Victoria. On this occasion the arrangements were left to the binder, presumably because of the new administration of the Lyceum Company. A bill for £375 had been sent on 1st January. On 3rd October £150 was paid, with the 8 guineas in Letter 8974 leaving £216.12 owing. The account was finally settled in 1905.
