Scope and content

Tells Peter not to apologise for [an anecdote he's shared?], doesn't remember it himself; hopes he rests after his surgery; will see Peter in January after he has finished his plays; hasn't read Tony's book yet, but questions the magnifying glass on the front; urges him to put the year behind him, and "remember how lucky we writers are", to look forward "to the wonderful moments when the right word and the right thought come to mind".
