Summary
Asking for Merchant's help with an unexpectedly huge shipping bill for a print of his film "Abhijan," which the BFI mistakenly sent by air to California; telling him to take the funds out of the money they owe him for "Shakespeare Wallah"; asking how the film is doing; saying he has written to Paul Myers at Columbia Records, and the people from the "NET" project have been in touch; saying "Nayak" should be opening on May 6.
