Transcript
Office of Cabinet Delegation, The Viceroy’s House, New Delhi
April 3. 46
My dear.
We are in the thick of it. Yesterday we started interviews at 10 AM & finishing @ 5 went on to a social gathering of the Press (off the record) which lasted 1¾ hours of which for one hour I answered questions. This was followed by a dinner in our house for 3 prominent Moslem league supporters. The conversations lasted till 11.30 PM during which I had to break off to have ¾ hr talk with an emissary from Gandhi.
Today is not quite so busy, but I am to have Jinnah to dine tonight.
I am exceptionally well.
Among our visitors yesterday was the ruler of Bhopal {1}[,] who is the “Chancellor” of the Princes[,] who seemed to me a particularly efficient man. Today we are seeing Azad & Gandhi separately & tomorrow Jinnah.
Sunday {2} Alexander & I are thinking of flying over to Agra to see The Taj.
I have been so pleased to get your second letter written I think last Monday {3}. They take about a week to come. The other way viz the India Office takes about 4 days.
All my love to you & all
Boy
