Summary
Notifying him that two letters he promised to send to her over the last two week have not arrived; providing context for the two scenes in the revised screenplay that she is sending him (only one of which is included) and how she believes they could be useful; revisiting some points that Ivory had raised during a previous phone call about the merits of structuring "the Typewriter scene" as a rehearsal instead of a performance; telling him that Jennifer Kendal's letters typically arrive within a day when she writes to her.
