Summary
Reporting that he has not yet spoken with Colonel Joy [regarding the sale of rights to produce a film on Emiliano Zapata], but remarking that "everything looks very promising." Hoping to speak to Joy on Monday, and hoping that by then Steinbeck will have seen Gadge (i.e., Elia Kazan) as well.
