Summary
Telling Merchant that she spoke to Ivory the previous day and "tried my best to explain the movie to Chuck [unreadable]"; hoping they can "get things organized in time to make the movie"; wanting to hear "a full report on your adventures as 'the torch bearer'"; relating that she recently complained to L.L. Mehrotra [concerning something to do with Indian bureaucracy?] and relating the problem to what was portrayed in "The Householder"; making some suggestions to Merchant as he is "looking at babies" for her.
