Summary
Apologizing for not "get[ting] Ava to see Shakespearewallah [sic]"; telling her the editing of "The Guru" is "coming along" and he believes "A Lovely World" [the "Shakespeare Wallah" sequel] and "Passion" should be their next projects; saying he has discussed both properties with various companies, and they all felt "A Lovely World" was uncommercial, but they all liked "Passion" so once he gets the synopsis he will get to work; saying "your shirts are with me and I hope they are the right colors"; confessing he feels "terribly impatient at times"; saying he is missing them all and sending his love.
