Thanks him for the message about the singing of Schikaneder (in 'Amadeus'), has sorted things out with Milos Forman but appreciates the point out to him that Schikaneder wasn't a singer himself; encloses some portraits of some brothers Schaffer (no longer present); the movie he was making has collapsed as the producers will be declared bankrupt; is looking forward to working with Forman in the juicy role of Schikaneder.

Concerning Simon Callow's article about him and correcting a statement about the adaptation of 'Amadeus'.

Thanks him for his hospitality in New York; compares London to New York; is moving, wonders if there is anything in Earl's Terrace; will be playing 'Wolty Polty' [Mozart] again on the 27th, is constantly asked for tickets, says there are none.

Encloses a photocopied article on AIDS from 'Here's Health' magazine dated March 1986, with a covering postcard [with an image of Charles Laughton in 'The Private Life of Henry VIII'].

[Sticker at top: Norman A. Punt, F.R.C.S.ed., D.L.O., 1 Conway House, 6 Ormonds Gate SW3 4EU] - A Christmas card, thanking him for his letter; perhaps his [Punt's] hours have made him less perceptive; remembers asking an over-tired Larry [Olivier] to cut [O'Neill's] 'Long Day's Journey' and being challenged by him as to how, which was of course impossible; thinks the first Act [of 'Amadeus'] does drag; Paul [Scofield] is superb, and Simon Callow is a protege of his; is sorry about [Tony's] '[The Case of the Oily] Levantine', notes it is a bit of 'tit for tat'.

Writes humorously about the deletion of one of his lines and his conviction that it is all a plot to replace him, hopes to see him for a meal next time he visits.

Assembly Hall, Edinburgh - Thanks him for his kind words about 'My Life in Pieces'; misses him, and hopes that when he is in New York he will be there; wishes the government were more lenient about non-domiciled status.

[Postcard with image of Callow as Pozzo in 'Waiting for Godot'] - Is glad to hear he is reading 'My Life in Pieces' again and that he will be there soon.

[Postcard with image of Sooty stamp] - Enjoyed the other night; thinks he is on to something with [Tchaikovsky].

Is coming over in a fortnight and wants to see the production; the one in London continues to draw the "great and the good"; the sting of not winning anything at the SWET awards was removed when he was hailed by Luciano Pavarotti across a foyer as "Mozart!" before being embraced warmly.
