Item 54 - Typescript copy signed of handwritten letter to Messrs Theodore Goddard and Co., Wolfit's solicitors

Jacobs has read the letters written by them on behalf of their client, Sir Wolfit. Thinks the matters raised can be solved by mutual cooperation. It is clear that if by 19 Sep. no London theatre has been secured Sir Wolfit is entitled to give two weeks' notice and terminate his engagement. His clients are actively engaged in negotiations to secure a London theatre. They have contracted to present the play at Newcastle, Dublin, Brighton and Wolverhampton, as agreed with Wolfit, and so cannot agree to replace him after the Dublin presentation. He must honour his obligations.
