46th St. Theater, New York - Is glad to hear that 'Five Finger Exercise' is still going well despite 'the invalid' and Juliet [Mills]'s absence; is glad he likes Peter Brook; is distressed to hear about Brian [?] showing him the letter about ['The Royal Hunt of the Sun']; he found the play discursive with too many characters and too slow in getting underway; opened ['The Ages of Man'] the night before, it has gotten rave reviews; had four days in Havana at Christmas; everyone talks of 'Five Finger Exercise', hopes to put it on there in September; sends his love.
Organisation for European Economic Co-operation, Nuclear Energy Secretariat, 2 Rue Andre-Pascal, Paris XVIe - Is almost finished on his book he is writing with Brian [Glanville]; a visit to Cannes; will be staying on at the Organisation but news is not yet public; discusses plans for the summer.
Is enjoying the Army, hopes to see them in London when he is on leave before going to Sandhurst.

Thanks him for his article on Benjamin Britten on Sunday, for capturing what hasn't been described before, the actual experience of knowing his music and the impact on the musical development of so many people; she was one of the early casts of 'Lucretia' and her son Steuart conducts for Britten.

Thornes House. - 'Here comes Punch, but alas! no Judy' - Mary [her sister in law?] has a bad sore throat, and there is a 'cry against my leaving the Greeks' [her children?]. She and Mary had 'resolved on rebellion had we been able to bring our combined forces into action, nobody will believe me that a long evening drive is good for my health', and she would have enjoyed Milnes's lecture. But she must 'submit' and wish him 'every sort of success' and sympathy for his efforts on behalf of 'your honourable Neighbours'.
Letter of 6 Nov. 1833 (sent to Henrietta Milnes at Milan) includes a note (perhaps incomplete?) from Richard Monckton Milnes to his mother, which mentions the funeral of Arthur Hallam, as well as one from Rachael Milnes to her 'very dear Harriets' [daughter-in-law and grand-daughter].
