Summary
Thanking Merchant and Ivory for hosting him and his wife Rose at Claverack; saying how much he enjoyed meeting Ruth and Jhab; suggesting that they read his introduction to the Modern Library edition of "The Confessions of Nat Turner," which describes the "ordeal" of the book's public reception, and comparing it to what they have encountered with "Jefferson in Paris"; assuring him that "Jefferson in Paris is a fine film and will outlast all the attacks on it."
