Author: Daly, Augustin (John Augustin) >>
Address: Daly's Theatre, Manager's Office, New York
Recipient: Stoker, Bram (Abraham) >>
Address: [Chicago?]
Date: 1888, Jan., 9 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: They are at cross purposes. He was thinking of autumn 1889 and Stoker of autumn 1888. Daly returns to New York in October 1888. If he had a good exchange attraction for his own house he would accept offer, but Hare & the Kendals refuse. He hopes to arrange time at the Lyceum in '89 when he gets to London in the summer. Is Irving using it himself in September, October & November 1889?

Date: 1888, Feb., 16 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: He has received Irving's and Stoker's letters. Although he has doubts he could not refuse Irving's offer and will be guided by his advice. He will come over early in July.

Ref.No: 6888    
Author: Stoker, Bram (Abraham) >>
Address: Star Theatre, Broadway and 13th Street [New York]
Recipient: Michie, Peter Smith >>
Address: West Point
Date: 1888, March, 7 
Document Type: Letter (1 p.)
Content Summary: Irving asks him to write to say how much pleasure it will give him, Ellen Terry and the Company to play at West Point if it can be arranged and that he appreciated the delicacy of Michie's letter. This would probably be his last visit to America as an actor and he would like to give a memorable performance to such young men. If approved, he suggests Monday 19th March at the time Michie thinks best. Irving's regard for Michie and Colonel Bass was an important factor. If the Secretary for War refuses, Michie need not worry as Irving only wishes to do what is approved of.
