Summary
Saying he has been viewing material for the film documentary with Prayag Raj, and that Jhab called and asked him to come back to Delhi, which he will do tomorrow night, and stay until the issues around the release of "The Householder" are resolved; entreating Ivory to "take a keen interest in [your father's] activities as he has done in yours and your friends'"; giving his thoughts on the contents of a letter he received from Lillian Ross; asking Ivory to please "in near future write to Delhi care of [the] Jhabvalas"; noting that "everything from this side has been fully taken care" but Ivory in the U.S. doesn't seem to have given any time to the "Householder" distribution deal with Columbia and the Indian government; signing off "I am sad because you are not here."
