| Document Type: | Letter (4 p.) | ||
| Content Summary: | He watches sympathetically reports of Irving's recovery; with American interest like that shown by doctors at a Lotos Club dinner given by their friend Horace Porter, that Irving's leg was kept in a "cage" not plaster. Affectionate greeting to Irving and Ellen Terry. He reports on Margaret Mather's 'Cymbeline'. She had seen and copied the Lyceum production. It had a magnificent setting & he disapproves if copied. He sends a programme as evidence. He does not expect to hear of 'George Washington' for some time, knowing how busy they are. He is having an English copyright production in London on 29th of 'Bonny Prince Charley', an adaptation of Coppée's'Les Jacobites' for the Tabers. It will open in Pittsburgh on 4th February and in New York the following week. 'Heartsease ' is doing nicely. | ||

| Document Type: | Letter (4 p.) | ||
| Content Summary: | Can he find out from his father whether he wishes Harry to come to him the next season. [George] Alexander had asked Harry if he knew for certain, for if he leaves, his parts could not be filled at the last moment. Perhaps his father can now make future plans and Alexander is anxious, so although he does not want to be a trouble he would like to know as soon as possible. They are at Liverpool that week so he could run over to see Stoker or vice versa, and would be glad to hear news. Dolly [his wife Dorothea Baird] had been over to see him and seems well. | ||
