Content and physical description
ContentErick Hawkins thanks Robert Fitzgerald for his letter and draft [of a new version of the text for THE STRANGLER ballet]. EH likes the way RF responded. Reading the new version, he felt he was reading a play rather than a poem. RF is supposed to be writing the text more like a prologue to Sophocles' play, it is about setting the scene and preparing the scene emotionally and dramaturgically. See you on Tuesday. Handwritten pencil note in the top right hand corner that EH has written more notes which he hasn't had time to send yet, but will send them the following day.
