Summary
Apologizing that she has changed her mind about wanting the photographs she loaned him back; telling him she wrote him a letter addressed to his P.O box [see MA 23840.1716], which she is unsure that he has read; offering a kind of condolence for Merchant's death: "I am quite aware of the changes after Mr. Merchant had passed away-- the whole work-together has died. I am so sorry for that"; adding that she has watched "Room with a View" and enjoyed it, except for Helena Bonham Carter; complimenting the performances of Emma Thompson and Anthony Hopkins in Ivory's film; ending with "Wishing you well (if there could be any 'well' in this crazy world we live in.)"
