All he proposes to reserve is the author's ordinary rights of which he gives details. Chapman & Hall are publishing his first book of verse called 'White Pilgrim and other poems'. If it is a sin to covet literary honours he is most guilty. He writes of acting rights - if Irving provides the correct jargon he shall have the rights for himself and his heirs for the sum agreed. Irving meant to give £500, Merivale meant to ask £700 - £600 seems a fair settlement. Congratulations on being the first manager who ever made 'Much Ado' run. |
