Summary
Apologizing for not writing sooner; referring cryptically to an "ANGEL" investor who has agreed to finance their film, on the condition it have "no more delictae [i.e. delicate] nuances"; telling him he will be leaving for London "tomorrow" and staying at the Royal Lancaster Hotel for five days, then flying to Delhi via Moscow; asking him to let Ruth know "I am coming to give all the support she needs"; hoping that "if Gujeral is in Delhi it will be nice to see him and who knows they [sic] might give some money for the next film."
