Letter from Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Delhi, India, to James Ivory, Mumbai, India, 1970 August 16 : autograph manuscript signed.

Resuming an earlier conversation that had been conducted over the phone until the operator cut them off, during which Jhabvala had wanted to discuss Ivory's clothing choices for potential events and televised interviews; giving him advice on how he should deliver a keynote address; wishing him well as he looks for clothes in Paris and Rome; detailing the clippings that she has enclosed; discussing their plans for her visit to Bombay to see the film; discussing some of the meals and cocktails she could prepare from a cookbook she recently acquired called "The Art of Viennese Cooking" if he visits; relaying the opinion of David (Gladwell?) that "of all the titles he feels that his and Subrata Mitra's is best" and Mitra's opinion that although he likes the photo, he feels is missing something around his mouth.
