Summary
Enclosing "two things to read": a "1911 account of the house at Claverack from House Beautiful" and an International Herald Tribune article "about Jane Campion's new film and plan to make 'Portrait of a Lady'"; writing that Campion has "cast an Australian actress [to] play the Lady - Tom Cruise's wife, the v. shallow Nicole Kidman"; continuing, "it's not bad that everyone is trying to do Henry James films, actually - just as long as a nice book is left for us to make"; noting, "[t]he reverse is Dora Maar, I think"; reporting it is "hot & muggy here now".
