Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
A verbal agreement should always be binding, but should have limits. He discusses his dealings with Messrs James & Thorn[e] over the 'Two Roses' and its performance history. The play has gone down in estimation since Irving made it a success and now it can be rehabilitated he is amazed they stand in his way, playing on Irving's sense of honour. 'Two Roses' not played at the Lyceum will be a gain to them but a severe loss to him. |

| Notes: |
Albery refers to Irving's earlier appearance in the play at the Vaudeville in June 1870 under the management of David James & Thomas Thorne. At the foot of p.4 Irving has noted 'The matter rests here - I shall do the play'. 'Two Roses' was produced at the Lyceum on 26th December, 1881. |

He usually stipulates for 10% of Irving's receipts - French tariff - but if Irving objects he must think of something else. He will be back in September (is now yachting) and they can meet to talk it over. He can envisage a fine play on the subject of Rigoletto. |
