Dear Mr.Bott, Ali. Twilight In Delhi.

 

I have pleasure in sending you five proofs of Twilight in Delhi by Ahmed Ali, which we shall be publishing early in the autumn. A definite date for publication has not yet been decided on. The novel is by a young Indian and is most moving and poetic account of the moslem [Muslim] world in Delhi. We shall be interested to hear the decision of your committee.

 

Yours Sincerely | Manager
