He asks for news of his farce, accepted for the Lyceum by Mr Bateman years before, but [Henry] Compton (Senior) did not want to play lead in a farce. It has been successful in German, his version an adaptation. His play 'Out of the Frying Pan' has been successful in 5 theatres. If Irving likes 'The Peaceful Ox' he can have it on his own terms. |

He is working hard on Robert Emmett. Stetson offers to produce it at Booth's Theatre immediately - 17th March, St Patrick's Day. He recommends Charles Thorne as Emmett, not Wilson Barrett. Wallack is back in his theatre - the place for Irving - £7000 a week! Lyceum scenery will fit. Love to Ellen Terry and Bram Stoker. He has has an offer of £3500 for June in San Francisco. He encloses a sketch for approval (not present). |
