Went to hear Ronnie [Gilbert?] at a night club, describes it as a great success, then went to Stuart's [?] house 'and turned on'; notes he is saying 'we' because 'there are two of me' but he's very annoyed at 'me' lately; will be flying to see him in the beginning of April, and misses him. Encloses a typed poem, the first he's written.
