Description
In this letter Marie Seton relays to Moody her impression that Nehru is fading away. She writes about accompanying Indira to the inauguration of a village welfare project and describes the discussions on Nehru's health which took place on the way back from the village. She tells Moody about Indira selecting brocades for people in Nigeria and Ghana and for Madame de Gaulle. Seton then describes a discussion with Indira Gandhi about Nehru's health and Indira's anaemia. She mentions to Moody that Indira has had problems contacting him in London. She describes her sense that Nehru's health is declining and that he is feeling more isolated and lonely. The letter concludes with a summary of Seton's future itinerary taking in Calcutta, Madras, and perhaps Ceylon.
