Summary
Telling her they're almost finished mixing "Roseland," and expressing some misgivings and regrets about the film in its present state, particularly moments with Don De Natale ("a Ken Russell image") and Teresa Wright-- the latter bringing back unfond memories of Rita Tushingham; describing the editing and sound work on the film; relating their weekend activities in Claverack and a trip to Great Barrington for a concert of Bach's Brandenberg Concertos; reflecting on the "B. Concertos" and an expensive dinner courtesy of Tony Korner; describing the lawn mowing situation at the house in Claverack; telling her in a postscript about Renana's car breaking down.
