Wishes he could come share a "Yuletide draught of LSD", but is in Gissing for the weekend. Has heard of the success of "Sleuth", offers his congratulations to Tony and [Carolyn]. Describes his ideal lover, in case Peter knows of anyone fitting the description. Encloses a cutting, an obituary notice for Ida Flower.
Amsterdam Marriott - Is escaping the heat, marvels over Operation Entebbe, thinks Tony [Shaffer] should script it; went back to see the play ["Confusions"?] - "bad and slow". Wants to clarify his relationship with Peter, now that Peter is in a relationship with Robert Leonard. Has seen Carolyn and the children and thinks Tony is a bit mad, reduced to talking like one of his characters
Misses him; hopes his trip is going well and he is not running around too much; the fish and cat are fine; Peter [Firth?], Paul [Giovanni], and RL have been to the 'Equus' party (awful), and then he took Peter to the gym, which Peter hated; asks after Carolyn [Shaffer], the girls and Jas [?].
