Letter from James Ivory, London, England, to Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Delhi, India, 1968 December 4 : typescript signed.

Reacting to the outline of "Passion" he recently received from her, but saying his comments will be limited since he wants to re-read the short story first before going into it in depth; giving a few observations and suggestions for "Passion"; moving on to his ideas for "A Lovely World" [a proposed sequel to "Shakespeare Wallah"], particularly a major change to the character of Arun, turning him into a British-Indian activist reacting to the likes of Enoch Powell; asking her to "mull over all this very carefully"; hoping that, just as changing the character of Jeremy in "The Guru" into Tom triggered "a cascade of money," similar tweaks to "A Lovely World" might have a similar effect.
