Summary
Encouraging him or Ismail Merchant to write to Nirad Chaudhuri to "tell him how sorry you are that your dates didn't coincide this time"; providing Chaudhuri's London address; asking him also to write to Alan Ross (of The London Magazine) about a previously discussed article; discussing another article for the Illustrated Weekly that they could collaborate on if he likes; strategizing how Ivory could get copies of The London Magazine from the British Council; wondering what Shashi and Jennifer Kendal's reaction will be to the film and worrying about what Ismail's reaction will be; hoping that his personal life will be less strained than he has expressed it might be; discussing plans that Katherine (referred to in a later letter as Karen) Friedman and her friend Judith have for an imminent visit to her area.
