Address: -
Date: 1881, May, 6 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: Irving thanks him for forwarding an anonymous postcard regarding the rehearsal the previous Sunday. He needs hardly say that there was no penalty attached to non-attendance at rehearsal which was a necessary effort for the production of 'Othello' on Monday night. All those employed received a night's pay. Irving cannot guess at the motive of the anonymous writer but supposes that the senders of anonymous letters have motives as well as a morale of their own into which it is as well not to enter.
Published:
Notes: In secretary's hand but signed "Believe me Dear Mr Fane.... Henry Irving".
