Summary
Saying that "the fateful day" of the premiere of "Shakespeare Wallah" is approaching, and expressing optimism for the outcome; describing some trying episodes for Merchant during the planning of the premiere, particularly in dealing with the wife of the Indian ambassador to the U.N., Mrs. Gopalaswami Parthasarathi; passing on news of Foo's (Felicity Kendal) arrival in New York, and how happy she seems; saying they had a letter from their agent in London, reassuring them that Columbia is interested in the "Esmond" project; musing that they have "created a market for our films at last."
