Letter from James Ivory, Bath, England, to Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Delhi, India, 1992 October 15 : autograph manuscript signed.

Describing the beauty of the hotel and the town of Bath ("if you like a simple, unadorned, classical style, and I do, as you know"; "a feeling of light heartedness and airyness [sic]. Most un-British you might think"); telling her that he will visit Bath again during the upcoming shoot in Corsham Court; detailing which scenes remain to be shot for The Remains of the Day; enclosing "some clippings for you"; discussing the release of the new Woody Allen film ("now called a 'disaster' everywhere") and the actions of its distributor TriStar; discussing Allen's being "embroiled in a sexual molestation case at the very moment that the U.S. (and England) are tied in knots over that issue" ("Five years ago people wouldn't have thought much about it maybe; five years from now people will have come to view other things as much worse"); discussing an article in Vanity Fair about Allen and Mia Farrow; recounting contentious interactions between Mary Ellen Mark and Ismail Merchant regarding her film and Merchant's apparent assistance with it.
