Scope and Content

The first sheet comprises the end of a letter from Ella, and the rest of the letter is from RD. Relates to: the near completion of filming [Knight without armour]; RD's impressions on seeing a rough cut of the film; his belief that it will be the biggest success ever made in England; his father's medical treatment for throat problems and asthma; and RD's own health, which at the present is very good (he reports that he recently carried Marlene [Dietrich] 500 yards without wheezing).

Holograph. The letter is missing one or more opening sheets.
