Letter from Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Kasauli, India, to James Ivory and Ismail Merchant, West Berlin, West Germany, [1965] June 22 : autograph manuscript signed.

Saying they have just returned from a trip to Simla, which she loved-- "so exciting, so rich! I'm still reeling under the impact it made"-- but Jhab felt ill-- possibly from the altitude; telling the "Shakespeare Wallah" has opened in Delhi, and is being advertised "'See For The First Time On Indian Screens Indian Hero Shashi Kapoor Kissing English Heroine Felicity Kendal'"; lamenting the quality of the majority of films in theaters in India; giving a rather unflattering description of Shammi Kapoor's appearance, but observing "you'd find him a hundred times more interesting than ever to use" in a film.
