Scope and content

Copy of a letter from Barbara Ingham to Ramji retelling memories of her recent trip to India, Nayayanpur being a highlight. She promises to send photographs once they have been developed. She suggests he visits Mr PV Mall in Bhawanipatnam. She is impressed with improvements she saw in India with the tribals coming together to overturn corrupt Malwaris now they have had training in maths. She deems pottery elephants are an unsuitable shape for sale to tourists and suggests maybe starting a pony-trekking business.
