Letter from James Ivory, Claverack, New York, to Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Delhi, India, 1979 January 31 : autograph manuscript signed.

Assuming she has received his previous letter by now; reporting on why his trip to California has been postponed; discussing "The Europeans" and its post-production woes; claiming Dick Robbins and Vic Flick are working together fairly well; relating how the recording session for Cary's narration went, "while Edith sat by knitting," and the details of their evening after the session discussing a condominium the Welches had just bought; insisting they must write a "Cary-Allan Ginsburg" type character in "the film."
