| Content Summary: |
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. |
| Published: |
Ifan Kyrle Fletcher, catalogue 224. |
| 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. |

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