Content and physical description
ContentBM will be happy for VN to write a few lines for a play he's writing for him. He does several pantomimes and needs words for the last one. He thinks he'll like it. He needs it soon. The play is called Pierot the Doctor. The plot is funny (he describes it). Have him do it in a genre like Voice of the Forest but funnier and grittier. He gives the schedule for the whole evening (Episode III - Pierot the Doctor - he sends the whole schedule to him). The main thing is whether he's interested and if he can write it in 14 days. He thinks he can write it best. They shake up those social opera suites a bit, get scolded at the opera, but it doesn't matter. He can afford anything. He describes his particular ideas about the length of the texts. Royalties - they would split the royalties. Have him send one Voice of the Forest libretto to radio.
