Summary
Saying Jhab received a recent cable from Merchant and Ivory and "started jumping up and down and contacting all sorts of people," presumably regarding the ongoing affair with Columbia Pictures; asking for word on the Venice Film Festival, and about some photos requested by the publisher of "The Householder" screenplay; admitting to being "a little disturbed" at the idea of their next film project being another adaptation of an existing property; explaining why she she feels they should create something original instead, which she feels she'll be ready to do in three or four months; passing on news of Prayag, Shashi, and Jennifer.
