Letter from Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Delhi, India, to Ismail Merchant, New York, New York, 1989 February 19 : autograph manuscript signed.

Telling him she has sent the revised script for "Mr. and Mrs. Bridge" to Ivory "by speed-post"; making a case for requesting an extension to the deadline for submitting the script [presumably to the backing studio] by three months to accommodate the shooting schedule for "Slaves of New York" and her own moving plans; asking Merchant if he has spoken to "Nita in Amherst" about Nita's daughter Tani's visa troubles, and whether he knows anyone who might be able to help; recounting how she and Nita recently ran into each other in Frankfurt Airport-- "she changing planes from Delhi to N.Y., I from London to Delhi ... How we all run around!"
