Summary
Sending him college admissions forms for four unspecified colleges to be mailed by the end of the year ("which I'm afraid is cutting it rather fine"); suggesting that if the forms are sent late, then perhaps he could include a note explaining that they are late due to "unfortunate conditions in India"; asking him to detach and mail a form for the TOEFL (a college admissions test specifically assessing English proficiency); describing the "fever of filing in forms, typing out curriculum vitae, getting things signed and counter-signed" that Polly and Nana are in; telling him that she is waiting to hear about Radcliffe ("you did send that off, didn't you?") and that she hasn't heard from him in a while.
