Address: 2 Gunterstone Rd, West Kensington, W.
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: [London]
Date: 1894, April, 24 
Document Type: Letter (4 p.)
Content Summary: If arrangements not complete for that and the next season would Irving consider him and his wife for suitable parts as they are free. He is then finishing a tour since Easter at Northampton with his own company, playing 'Captain Swift' to poor business, though not at a loss, although provinces are in a bad way except for big attractions - farcical comedy and burlesques not artistic productions. Bad luck: his wife had influenza for 2 weeks and her mother broke her leg and his wife had to leave. Has read of Irving's "entrées" with interest and looks forward to meeting.

Notes: The note of Irving's reply is illegible. He returned to the Lyceum in mid-April from America. Macklin did not join to the Lyceum until 1896; see Letter 5213. His wife was Blanche Henri.
