Letter from Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Delhi, India, to James Ivory, Mumbai, India, 1970 July 25 : autograph manuscript signed.

Replying that "of course we shall be very happy to have David [Gladwell?] in Delhi"; disclosing her husband's upcoming travel plans for scheduling purposes; asking for suggestions of things David should see in Delhi; asking when he will be traveling to Delhi; postulating that he is worrying and "driving Ismail madder than he already is"; saying that she feels "quite repelled by what you tell me about the Maestro [Satyajit Ray]" and has read something that is "a panegyric, from beginning to end--yet he picks on a point like that"; comparing Ray with "my experience with both Aminas," of which the "blonde one is in Delhi again" but has not yet contacted her; telling Ivory that she has received a "threatening letter" from "some Bengali" who is "preparing to write a monograph on me" asking for copies of all of her works that he has not yet read as well as answers to a forthcoming questionnaire.
