Summary
Thanking him for a book, referring to his play, "Iliad" and his health; saying "There is talk of my "Iliad" play being used by the John Kennedy Memorial Theatre - Sam Wanamaker tells me. Have been ill - lost my memory for most things but not for you. Am honoring Shakespeare with a song on his 500th anniversary at the Globe Theatre."
