Summary
Wondering if they could clarify the scene in a jeweler's shop because "it's such a good opportunity to make something of the dagger"; asking him to leave out a line of dialogue in an upcoming scene because "you know how dangerous it is to refer to other scenes"; inviting him to put in new dialogue if he feels it is needed, noting that "yes I'll groan and grumble, but never mind, I would groan and grumble anyway".
