Summary
Reads: It is very peaceful here. My parents are leaving for Ajmer for a month. I hope to join them during their stay in Ajmer. London Weekend [illegible] John Blyton would like me to come to London to sign the agreement-- I think it wise to get the papers signed as soon as possible-- I will plan to go to London by Nov 17th-- How are you getting along with the Europeans? What meetings have you had with Time Life and Bill Barnes? You have to get Ray Brown to finish this project-- I have been to Chor Bazar a number of times with Jennifer. There are some very nice things available but expensive-- Take care. Love, Ismail.
