Letter from James Ivory to Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, New York, New York, 1980 : autograph manuscript signed.

Assuring her that he did fly first class, and that "all my fears of crying babies and sticky-fingered kids ... were groundless"; telling her that the Klamath Falls library "have eight of your books now"; reminding her to pay the carpenter at Claverack and make sure that someone "collects the new tenants' rent check and that Jeremiah deposits it in the Claverack account"; asking her to persuade Merchant to consider Debra Winger [for "Quartet"], since Ivory has "grave doubts" about Isabelle Adjani's "delivery of [English language] dialogue."
