Mike Nichols - Explains why he hasn't apologised before [for withdrawing from directing the film of 'The Public Eye']: that an apology would be expecting forgiveness; feels very badly about the 'whole mess', describes how it happened in stages, how they were going to take the project away from Ross [Hunter] and switch to another producer, how Universal changed position and he had no choice but withdraw, feeling a picture made with both Ross and himself would be a disaster; didn't contact him as he felt PS should be free to hate him, and assures him of his regard.

Thanks him for his letter, which was 'specific and generous and extremely helpful'; thinks Vanya is better now, might really like it by the time it closes; was good to see him at Tony [Shaffer?]'s.
