| Content Summary: | He is glad Loveday is recovering and is sad Mrs Loveday has had a painful time. Irving has been fighting off influenza, crawling out of bed to work and back. Grant often sends greetings to Loveday. He hopes to see him when he passes through but he must not return too soon. The success is as great or greater than ever but he will discontinue "mornings" as too exacting. Fillery [the machinist] has decided not to go to America and will set up an independent business, so they seek a good man to learn the ropes of 'Robespierre'. He will also take 'The Merchant', 'Bells', 'Nance Oldfield' and 'Waterloo'. 'Robespierre' will be the principal attraction. | ||
