Letter from Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Delhi, India, to James Ivory, 1979 January 30 : autograph manuscript signed.

Discussing the enclosed treatment for "Jane Austen in Manhattan" [not present] and hoping it will be enough for Ivory to show Melvyn Bragg; musing on her impressions of what her contributions will be, comparing it to "Hullabaloo Over Georgie and Bonnie's Pictures," and suggesting Ivory read Jerzy Grotowski's seminal work on theater training as a way to prepare for the project; saying if it turns out they don't do the "Jane Austen" film, she will turn her attention to the screenplay for "Quartet"; implying something unpleasant has happened in India-- which sh cannot write about-- and assuring him that Merchant will fill him in; telling him they [she and her husband] are still at 1-A Flagstaff Road.
