He is glad they met the previous night. Why did Irving think he had done anything wrong? Merivale was angry with Irving for not answering his letters about the suggested play since the suggestion was Irving's - nothing more. He knows Irving's weakness in this respect, which is common. Few busy men now are, like him, fond of letter writing. He will call for, like all Shakespearean managers, Irving must have new plays occasionally and he has plenty of ideas. But he must have some certainty of payment and prefers a lump sum. He admires Irving's 'Merchant [of Venice]' as a beautiful picture. |

She sends a pleasing letter about the red letter day of a party of schoolgirls. Don't come the next Sunday as she has to be out late. She was glad the advertisements showed many nice plays. She hopes Irving will find Mr Long well as he was poorly when visiting the day before, and will be comfortable if he sits in the new studio... |
