Scope and content

Copy of a letter from Barbara Ingham to Mr Deotale apologising for the three months Mr Deotale will have to wait to receive a parcel of Flash soap that has been sent to him. She explains that this is due, in part, to a double-hip operation that Barbara Ingham had to undertake unexpectedly. She asks Mr Deotale if he can do anything with regard to Ajanta, explaining how conditions in the Ajanta caves are not suitable with various heat and light issues damaging the newly and half uncovered frescoes on the walls. She implores Mr Deotale to help if he can with making the Ajanta caves a viable and working tourist location.
