I will tell Ronnie, who is looking\nvery seedy and behaving very neurotically, that you have\nentered the field of drama production and are eager to\ncome home to do is job. This I know will be as good as\nthe best tonic for him, and he will undoubtedly take a new\nlease of life. Just now his expectation of life seems to\nbe about three weeks.\n\nThe novel you are doing sounds most interesting. I\nhope there's a lot of oriental erroticism in it. Why not\nwrite a Lady Chatter-li-po saga giving the truth behind\nthe oriental smile. Your future would be made. Do give\nme the job of acting as your literary agent.\n\nI must stop as my desk is so full of memos, letters,\nmanuscripts etc that I must clear it up else my head will\nbust.\n\nMay I 'wish you and yours a very happy Christmas -\n\nEver\n","Type":"Text"}}]
