Author: Wyndham, Sir Charles >>
Address: Criterion Theatre, Piccadilly, W.
Recipient: Irving, Sir Henry >>
Address: [London]
Date: [1895], [Feb.?] 
Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: He had told Webster he would not stand in his way over the transfer in about 3 weeks, but he had thought Hare's play was coming out at Easter and that F[orbes] R[obertson] would play with Irving until 2 or 3 nights before the new production. Perhaps Irving can manage to give him the longest possible time - 3, 4 or 5 weeks. The part is peculiar and he has no time to interview every possible applicant - Haviland would not be suitable. They have both been badly affected by the weather. (Postscript:) He had given him [Webster] permission for rehearsals long before.
