| Content Summary: | Mrs Pinero joins him in thanking Irving for his note. They have withdrawn from the bustle of London but can come up to town when work permits. He has, therefore, noted 28th July as a day when he can relax. Poor Comyns Carr, now relieved of sad anxiety, is coming to see him and they will have time to discuss the scheme of the drama he is planning. | ||

| Document Type: | Letter (5 p.) | ||
| Content Summary: | Thanks Irving for his message. He met a friend from abroad in the theatre the previous night so could not congratulate Irving in person. 'Cymbeline' is a beautiful production. Iachimo was a great villain and Miss Terry's performance proves 'that the sweetness of girlhood may be a perpetual gift of the mind'. He makes suggestions about the bedchamber scene. Irving should stand behind the bed so his face can be seen. Also comments on lighting. Irving's illustration of two obscure passages in the play has rendered plausible what he found difficult to understand. | ||

| Notes: | 'Cymbeline' opened on 22/09/1896 with Ellen Terry as Imogen. | ||

| Content Summary: | Thanks Pinero for his letter and for his admirable suggestion which he has put into practice to the advantage of the performance. Says [Cymbeline] is a funny play but is glad that it has engaged Pinero's practical interest in stage manoeuvres. If Pinero will continue to address Irving as 'Sir Henry' he will address Pinero 'old friend' as 'Field Marshal'! | ||

Except by selling a play to a Yankee you cannot secure yourself against thieves, but while unpublished it is practically secure. The next day between 1 & 2.

| Content Summary: | Time's up and he's starving. 27th October was to be a month to the second instalment of £250. Will Irving send it? The remaining £150 could come in another month. He asks what he thinks right; and should not ask more than [W.G.] Wills received. Nor should he take less - less too than Miss Litton paid in preparation, and she left him all American and Colonial rights. When will there be room at 'Much Ado'? | ||
