Summary
Reads: Dear Ruth, Today Ismail and I went to Nizamuddin so he could pray for Thanksgiving on having finished "The Deceivers"-- though he is still embroiled in that wearisome court case. Nizamuddin is just about all of the old Delhi that is left, that has not been effaced, ground into the dirt. And even it is a bit suspect. Tonight is the big affair at the U.S. Embassy. Jhab swears he will not go. Renana is arriving from A. this afternoon-- see you soon, love, Jim.
