| Content Summary: |
He asks Irving to write about terms. Wills is thinking of living in Paris - it is so cheerful. If any other subject occurs to Irving contact him. Wills is thinking of a Timon of Athens character set in Queen Anne's time. He wishes he could avoid potboilers but he has money problems. In the autumn he has plays at the Haymarket, St James & the Court, also 2 plays in the provinces. Will Irving answer. He used to be a charming correspondent when Wills was working on 'Rienzi' but suddenly dried up! |

Terms for 'Rienzi'. Stoker's letter of 5th July (Letter 4352) had not yet arrived. Nicoll at this time only records plays 'William and Susan' at the St James Theatre 9/10/1880, and 'Juana' at the Court Theatre 7/5/1881. |

She was sorry to miss him. It was ages since she had seen him, and she wanted to tell him how good he was the previous night... She had to leave early as she was very tired and expected to have to go and get Mr Wills that day, which she had begged Mr Stoker to name to Irving, but that morning she had a telegram that Wills was not well enough. She was there on Thursday when he was very feeble and feels anxious. She would go every time he wanted her. |

| Content Summary: |
Irving's letter is satisfactory for him - he balances between the two last - the royalty each night & morning he has received - and the £700. If Irving intended staging the play soon he prefers the first but if the time is uncertain or remote he would rather have the money. However consider the arrangement complete. |
