Typed letter signed : Beverly Hills, Calif., to John [Steinbeck], 1949 May 18.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/777818589

Discussing his intention to begin working on the screenplay for Viva Zapata! Noting that he does not want to rush his work because the script is so big and cohesive that he needs "time to turn it around on all sides like you do with a mountain nd see which side is the best for an approach" and hoping that this will work for Zanuck, who usually works very quickly. Referencing his upcoming trip to Europe, and asking to meet with Steinbeck at the beginning of August once he returns.
