| Content Summary: | While thanking Irving for the terms of the deed assigning and securing rights to 'The Bells' he regrets a small accident. He was to have executed the deed at Messrs Lewis & Lewis at 12 that morning but found the assignment had not been engrossed. The appointment is now 11 o'clock on Monday, causing him difficulty. Stoker suggested he should write to Irving that night. Will Irving let him have £5 on account until Monday? | ||

| Content Summary: | He hopes Irving is recovering. In time of much illness Merritt has only been out once since the first night of 'King Arthur', to take his wife to 'Santa Claus'. He is sending to Forbes-Robertson, who is going into management, the scenario previously suggested to Irving on 'The Iron Mask'. If Forbes-Robertson mentions it, would Irving make the same comments he made to Merritt. Forbes-Robertson has the qualities the part demands, whilst George Alexander, originally intended, is not strong enough physically. | ||

| Document Type: | Letter (4 p.) | ||
| Content Summary: | He suggest Irving might consider a modern play with less arduous roles or to stage with 'Waterloo'. He describes the plot of a serious but not tragic play with lower class characters, dealing with the fate of a dissipated young man redeemed through self sacrifice. It is called 'In After Years'. If of no interest let him know. | ||

| Notes: | Irving's note is: Send play 25/10/94, but he rejected what sounds like a melodrama. The play is not listed by Nicoll. | ||
