Thanks for the cheque Stoker sent that morning. He had kind note from Hare and Kendal offering cooperation. Since Irving does not wish to study Sir Harcourt Courtly he lists a suggested cast for 3 acts. The programme might begin with Mortimer's version of 'La Joie Fait Peur', followed by Irving's act and ending with the 3 acts of 'London Assurance'. |
