The terms of Philip Henslowe's and Edward Alleyn's agreement of 4 April 1601 over the Fortune property are recorded in a later document of 15 February 1616, an unexecuted assignment of Henslowe's leases by his widow Agnes. Alleyn leased Henslowe a moiety of the playhouse and 'a certain plot of ground' on which the playhouse was built. Henslowe was also to receive one-half of the profits of the playhouse. The items excepted from the agreement were 'the allowance and part of the company which for the time being shall play there' and the grounds and properties adjoining the playhouse.
