Author: Morley, Henry >>

Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: -
Date: [1880?] 
Document Type: Letter (5-8 p.)
Content Summary: ... If the Institute were founded Irving should be the first President, and the President always a leading actor. But with the work started, if Morley makes suggestions, it is for others to act on. He has been glad to hear from Charles Harcourt that there is already a movement in the profession for such an Academy, and Harcourt has asked him to call. He will go to the rooms of the Theatrical Fund, 27, Great Queen St at 3pm on Tuesday. If Irving thinks Morley might be useful and would call at the same place and time, a few words might not be wasted. Morley merely wishes to help and is not crotchety.

Notes: Charles Harcourt became Secretary of the National Dramatic Academy in 1880, but died on 28th October that year. Information on the Academy is sparse.

Date: 1880, May, 3 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: On behalf of the summons this morning Mr George Lewis produced a document which purported to be a statement of an account showing that for the past year Mr Irving has made no income and has an annual loss of between £ 6,000 and £ 7,000. This statement will be dealt with when Mr Irving has to verify it by oath in the action. Jennings was only allowed a hasty examination of the figures. The Registrar's order extended the filing of an answer and ordered Irving to pay £50 in general account of alimony. Nothing further can be done though if necessary Irving can be cross-examined in court. As soon as he receives the £50 he will send it to Florence. The sum is less than that she can withdraw from the bank but better to accept the lesser sum than to take the larger.
