Summary
Reads: I've sent you so many views of this place over the years that I think you've had them all. But perhaps I haven't sent you this one before-- it's of the town beyond the bazaar, and I suppose it's the real Kasauli. Like all those places behind the lakes are the real Kashmir. This year we're in the room in the hotel where the Kendals were staying-- do you remember it? You did quite a lot of shooting there. I hope you're well and happy. How's your ankle? If I write any more you won't have time to read it so will just send you lots of love and all best wishes-- Ruth.
