Letter from Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Delhi, India, to James Ivory and Ismail Merchant, New York, New York, [1965] August 2 : autograph manuscript signed.

Telling them she is worried about them, as she hasn't heard from them for some time; mentioning an episode with Kushwant Singh and Pat Sharma, where Sharma's ear infection resulted in facial paralysis, and concerned since she'd heard the same about Merchant and Jennifer wrote that he was "quite ill when you left London"; saying "nothing much has happened here" except for "The Householder" playing in Calcutta and in Cedar Falls in America; recapping some more press coverage for "Shakespeare Wallah"-- with lots of images of Madhur-- and transcribing a long passage from a favorable piece on the Berlin Film Festival by Amita Malik.
