| Date: | 1892, March, 15 | ||
| Document Type: | Letter (1 p.) | ||
| Content Summary: | Perhaps Mr Irving has forgotten him. When he wished to play 'Corsican Brothers', although he might have played any of the free versions - he came straight to him - Loveday may remember? He wrote to Irving protesting at being dragged into the case Jarman v. Irving and not only had no reply but his name was dragged even more into every paper in England. Put the facts before Irving and let Dacre hear soon, so he can be prepared for his course in the trial. | ||

| Notes: | Dacre was general manager of the Doncaster Theatre. Details of this case are not reported. | ||
