Summary
Providing several long notes on aspects of the "Shakespeare Wallah" screenplay; wondering where "Manjula" [i.e. Madhur] is, and if she will arrive in India on time; passing on a conversation Jhab had with "Chabra about Deeg"; checking to be sure Merchant will be arriving in Delhi "on Wednesday morning," and Ivory will be leaving Bombay "on Wednesday night." Drawing of the base of a lightbulb in upper right corner of page [1].
