Sympathy letter on death of his father; remembers his "rogues' gallery for Leo [de Rothschild]'s birthday tape"; misses PS and Robert [Leonard].
Went to see 'Equus' with a nephew, and is baffled that each time it feels new and the questions raised as if for the first time; has announced his resignation from the Health Service and will go to work in the Civil Service; saw Miller's 'After the Fall' on television and found it had wonderful moments but finds the reiteration 'like some dreadful drilling of some fearful neurotic'; encountered Peter's father at the physiotherapist, 'invested him with Shafferness which made my approach very particular and enthusiastic...he must have been baffled.'
Is working with Miloš Forman at his house in Connecticut on 'Amadeus', saw his niece, Robert has gone on a trip to Australia.
Rehearsing 'Amadeus'. First two pages only of the letter.
