Scope and content
The Old Bakery, Malting Lane, Gt. Chishill, Royston, Herts. - Was happy to get his letter from Barbados; was there in 1930 acting as Jack in 'Charley's Aunt' and Stanhope in 'Journey's End', remembers he went off script and ran his hand through Raleigh's hair on the way out of the dugout; his house burnt April 6, and he has been staying with a doctor, Sandy McKenzie while he rebuilds; has seen Victor [Spinetti], whose career has slowed down, and who has had financial worries, and John doesn't know what happened with the film he wrote with Tony [Shaffer]; was going to see the Duchess [?] in Los Angeles, but couldn't fit the dates; thinks him mad for coming to the UK at this point, with heaps of refuse, raging inflation, snow, and a Northeast wind from Siberia.
