Letter from RD to his parents and brothers John and Bill, much of which is devoted to RD's thoughts on Marlene Dietrich, whom he dislikes intensely. Includes references to: her habit of stealing ideas from RD's performance and working them into her own; a confrontation they had on set about this; and his immunity from her feminine charms. Other topics covered include: RD's present family holiday; the family's Christmas, including a visit to see When the rainbow ends; RD's finances, including a debt owed to Alex Korda; and his improved health. He also urges his family not to believe all they read about him.
