Hansen has just received Beaton's Christmas letter. Thinks Beaton should get an agent for England and the continent, as Freedman is too far away for such business. Suggests Suzanne Czech. She could sell Landscape to TV - She is trying to sell Hansen's play "The Garden of Sweets" in Germany. Gives her address. Is sorry about the death of Sister Beatrice: "life and death seem like different colored leads in the same automatic pencil: a push of the thumb and out pops black instead of white". Describes the New Year celebration in Greece. His play is progressing slowly. The weather in Poros is miserable.
