Document Type: Letter (3 p.)
Content Summary: He returns the proof of 'Merchant' and has added pencil note about actors playing Shylock unsuccessfully. He suggests wording, but it is up to Brereton and perhaps should be omitted. He hasn't considered the application of the "Wilson Fund" - Is not the ready wit of the immaculate for the 'emasculate'. He heard just what Brereton says about the 'Playgoers'. He encloses a cheque up to Jan. 5th.

Date: 1905, Jan., 25 
Document Type: Letter (2 p.)
Content Summary: He received the enclosed that morning. Rights belong to Sir Henry Irving. Some time before he wrote to Irving about the publication of his brother's plays but received no reply.
Published: -
Notes: The enclosed letter from publishers Samuel French signed by Henry Bridgland says that New York has cabled to ask for manuscript and terms for W.G. Wills's 'Olivia'. An immediate reply is requested. Stoker's note is not clear but indicates that Irving does not want to print any other plays. A note on Wills's letter asks whether he or Stoker will reply to French's 26/1/05. Irving is often accused of not replying to letters and he was keen to preserve his performing rights.
