| Content Summary: |
Their business improved in Manchester after Irving's visit. He lists weekly takings. He followed Irving's advice and recommended the play to Waller and Alexander. Waller's manager came from Liverpool, read the play twice but has not written. Alexander telegraphed asking lowest terms. Laurence wrote asking for joint engagement and 12% of gross. On Monday he received the enclosed. Alexander has not agreed but offered full financial rights and Laurence accepted his terms as basis of agreement and hopes to see Alexander. Would Irving allow him and Mabel to break off the American tour in time to return to rehearse the play with Alexander? He thinks he would put on 'Lovelace' in January or February as his tour does not end until December & he intends to start his London season with Heidelberg. If Alexander comes down he can discover his intentions. He knows he asked Irving a favour ... |

| Notes: |
A draft, with alterations, unsigned, and possibly not sent as the agreement over 'Richard Lovelace' came to nothing. 'Old Heidelberg' ran at the St James's Theatre until March 1904. |

He has tried for 15 years to get as close as possible to Irving in appearance.This is the result - he is very proud of it. Hopes Irving is in good health. His son, named after Irving, is doing well. Hopes to be able to come round after 'Waterloo' and pay his compliments. |
