| Content Summary: |
He sends and discusses modifications of the agreement for Irving's acceptance. Legally it would be one-sided without them. Things may happen to any of them. He attacks the Americans - the Englishman has no defence against the 90% who are thieves. They often take short hand notes and publish. He tells a story about Genevieve Ward who saw 'Jane Shore' in England and managed to purloin a copy from the [Wilson?] Barretts which she took to America and played. They had no redress. |

He gives Merivale permission to publish as long as it does not damage.Irving's producing the play. When published it will be vulnerable to rivals and he wants to protect himself against thieves. After they had opened they could go on with the immediate agreement. |

| Notes: |
This seems to be connected with the agreement for 'Edgar and Lucy', afterwards 'Ravenswood' in 1882. The rivals Irving refers to are "on the other side" and this may refer to American piracy. 'Ravenswood' was not performed until 1890, when Merivale also discussed translation rights. |

Thanks for the cheque. He hopes that 'Edgar and Lucy' [Ravenswood] prospers some day. He wishes all theatrical negotiations were as plain and straightforward. Shall he write 'The Pirate' for Irving to produce in America? Seasons greetings from his wife and self. |

'The Pirate' is a joke referring also to literary piracy. |
