Summary
Saying that the only piece he has that may work for the over-size December issue is a play that was commissioned by Lillian Hellman; asking if he should ask her for permission to publish it but wondering if it would be strange to publish the play before producing it. Noting that he has "mountains of abandoned novels but I can't bring myself to go prospecting."
