Additional Details

". . . I think it would be fun to give Ten Little Niggers a new lease of life! I don't know what practical difficulties there are, or if it 'dates.' Anyway talk it over with Edmund Cork, because he always arranges all these things & knows far more about all my affairs than I do! . . ."
