Letter from Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Delhi, India, to James Ivory and Ismail Merchant, Mumbai, India, [1965 January 8] : autograph manuscript signed.

Announcing "I have just talked to Tytler [Jim D. Tytler, whose only film role was in "Shakespeare Wallah"] and he's being very difficult"; describing how Tytler is refusing to participate in reshoots for "Shakespeare Wallah" and how "I had to cry, beg, flatter (now I feel quite sick and hate you both) and all I could finally get out of him was that if you gave him an absolutely tight schedule, of not more than 2 days, he might consider coming" but they will probably have to pay for airfare, not a train; providing his phone number; wondering if they can get everything they need from him in two days; emphasizing how much his shots are needed for character development, and saying if he refuses to be present for dubbing, "you will just have to get some Englishman in Bombay to dub the whole part."
