up, heaver than the sea. Well. Well. Well. I'm arranging to rent a flat in London, beginning in October, and will be writing the play there, and am buying a car (at my age!) and Alain will be chauffeur and man Friday. I'll tell you one thing, he's certainly no one to play with, and perhaps we recognized each other because we both work so hard - no father, and he's the only support of his mother and grand-mother and niece. So. Here we go. 
     As for you, I expect you to stay out of America until we return with [[underline]] Shine On Me [[/underline]]. The title of our play. I will be in America until the 10th October, after which you can always join me in London. Will keep you posted. 
     By the time you get this, I will be en route for Paris. I expect to be in NY on the 12th or 13th, so write me there, but [[underline]] please write me [[/underline]]. I'll be writing to David and Pam, but, in the meantime, give them my love. You can tell them as much or as little as you like concerning the contents of this letter. As for money, I'll be wheeling and dealing and I'll be re-negotiating contracts and so we'll be all right. If, being a Baldwin, you feel in the least upset about not laboring in the mines, console yourself with the reflection that you can always give me - or someone! - your first Oscar to pawn. I want you to get it, one fine day. Let's make history, baby, what the fuck else is there to do?
     Take care. I love you very much. 

Your brother,
^[[Jamie
