Letter from Jennifer Kendal, Bristol, England to Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, 1984 May 30 : autograph manuscript signed.

Noting that she hasn't written to or seen her "for so long," there is so much to tell her; saying she enjoyed "The Bostonians" very much, as did "Foo [her sister Felicity Kendal], & Shashi, & Kinu [her son Kunal Kapoor]"; relating how she treated Cannes "as a holiday in the South of France, not as a film festival at all" until the last day when she went to see a Satyajit Ray film; telling her that "Jim & Ismail are being very caring [underlined]" now, that she can't do as much as she could before, and wondering if she didn't go back to India too soon and exhaust herself; explaining that she is at the Cancer Help Centre for a week, to try it, though she's "not entirely sure that it is all for me"-- a lot of what they prescribe, like 'imaging" and meditation, is "all so depressing [underlined]. i don't want to think about cancer all the time-- I want to forget about it"; saying she's returning to London on Friday, and Karan [Kapoor, her other son] will be coming soon from New York; complaining that she "should have gone to a health farm!"
