Letter from Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Delhi, India, to James Ivory, New York, New York, 1973 July 17 : autograph manuscript signed.

Reflecting on Ivory's recent correspondence from Martha's Vineyard and Newport; asserting that Dreiser was the American author who best captured "these American nouveau-riche palaces"; giving her opinion on wearing eyeglasses and whether Ivory should get his eyes checked; discussing what she heard recently from Nedd Willard, that the children of people in the U.S. foreign service, who are born and raised abroad, tend to cope badly when they finally come to the States, usually around college age.
