A letter of sympathy on Tony's death; apologises for leaving an incoherent message on his answerphone; remembers Peter's care of Tony at the Trinity feast last year; 'Sleuth' was accomplished, it's a pity Peter did rewrite the Act One curtain of 'The Case of the Oily Levantine'; Claude Chabrol admired the 'Frenzy' screenplay; Richard treasured Tony's 'curiously sturdy sense of fun'; describes him as a mix of burly ex-Bevin boy with an almost shy demeanor one-on-one; remembers his jokes; complaining about snap decisions made by critics about films, and his concern for authors and others who are ignored; remembers his voice with echoes of Eynon Smith; the only photograph he has is a tiny one of Tony and Peter taken on a Bakelite camera; Jocelyn sends her love.
