Summary
Allowing that New York sounds exciting, but it suits Merchant better than her; embarassed at news of a television appearance Merchant made where he held up her book "like baked beans"; asking Ivory if she might use one of his photographs on the cover of her book "Like Birds, Like Fishes"; inquiring about the publication of the "Householder" script; sending a humorous message to Saeed and Madhur Jaffrey.
