Scope and content

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 PS 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.
