Summary
Updating her on the production of typed bound copies of the script for "A Lovely World" [the sequel to "Shakespeare Wallah," which was never produced; saying he "thought the script was enchanting, and that she should disregard "the second letter" he sent her because "my suggestions were made looking through the wrong end of the telescope and seen rather more from the cynical angle of [the character] Lizzie's new friends"; telling her that in spite of "the struggle with Internal Revenue here which is delaying my passport," he hopes to be able to "fix a date for departure" [presumably to India] by the next week; assuring her he will send a copy of the bound script as soon as he has it.
