Summary
Alarmed to hear that Ivory and Merchant haven't received her letters; thanking them for the production stills of Shashi Kapoor and Leela Naidu; voicing her misgivings about her work on the screenplay of "The Householder," and how she feels it compares (badly) to Paddy Chayefsky's script for "The Bachelor Party" (for the Spanish television series Gran Teatro); describing her family's recent trip to Kasauli and the English "Mummies and the Kiddies," and a strange dream she had the night before.
