Description

In this letter Marie Seton tells Moody about Menon's return to England for a stay to 'monkey around' with the Art Society and films. She also mentions Bridgit's, Menon's secretary's, request for artist recommendations, informing Moody that she has spoken to Bridgit about him and his interest in Indian Art. Seton expresses the hope that Moody will get in touch with Menon as she feels he (Moody) is among the responsible people who can help Menon (with the Art Society). Seton tells Moody that Menon has been told of Indira Gandhi's involvement and of her (Indira) having met Ronald.
