Responding to his letter (MA 6426.36), insisting that the wine was a gift, and noting that the Steinbecks and "Charley" [Charlie Chaplin] went to the Manson Winery for the vintage. Discussing their collaborative work, noting that "of course" Steinbeck wants to work on "Ecce Homo!," and "for gods sake" Lorentz should "forget about [producing] In Dubious Battle." Mentioning that Steinbeck will probably finish the draft [of "The Grapes of Wrath"] by the beginning of November, and that he gets "pretty low about this book sometimes." Hoping that "this god damn book is some good. It's been hard enough work."
