Incomplete letter from Marie Seton to Ronald Moody, addressed from New Delhi
Date
Description
The beginning of this letter is missing.

In this letter Marie Seton describes Menon's relationship with Nehru and the conflicts within himself crystallised by Nehru's death. She also refers to the behind the scene fights which took place in the presence of Nehru's corpse and Menon's reaction to the fights. She shares further thoughts about Menon and the lack of preparations for Nehru's death (including the absence of a death mask) due to lack of warnings.
