HN10/271/Coleman2

Memorandum by John Thomas Green on envelope with postmark of 17 Feb 1888 and headed "Send all this back by post" [to Frederic Thomas Tanqueray] "I enclose Letter from Neve to Coleman [HN10/271/Coleman1]. Harris, Sworder, Percival, Wright, Coleman & others drinking about together. Wright when drinking has a mania for breaking other peoples hats "bomreling" [?]after a little horse play. Coleman gets home and finds his Hat smashed - he instantly concluded Wright had done it 2 hours before when all up at his place. He sends the hat done up in paper up to Wright's House with a note something like this written on one of his Bill papers Coleman Hotel &c to J.I.Wright "I never play practical jokes and I shall not allow you to do [sic] perform on me or my property" Coleman thinks the wife got hold of it and this has put the fat in the fire. I have told Coleman that he has no proof that I do not think it is a slander and he writes to Neve that he has forwarded his Letter to his Solicitor Mr.Green of Woburn and in hearing from him will write again. Send me your idea of letter I should write to Neve. I see no objection to asking for the statements and that quite useless to apologise"
