Sorry we did not get together in Kolkata, really would have liked to met with you. I did, however, stay at the hotel you recommended. My trip to NAGALAND was fantastic and I purchased a large number of ethnographic items for the Museum and we will be having an exhibition next November.
A second reason for my sending this e-mail is that you have an incorrect author for one of your books:
The little goddesses (mātrikās) by K.C. Aryan is in fact by Krishan Chander Aryan and not Kamla C. Aryan. I was not absolutely sure, but looked it up in WorldCat and in other libraries, and Krishan is the author. It would be great if you could change it.
Hope all is well with you and your family,
John Marshall

Well, believe it or not, I will be in Kolkatta (CALCUTTA) at the end of this month. My travel plans are: Mumbai 19-25 March
Calcutta 25 March - 2 April
Nagaland 2-29 April
New Delhi 29 April - 2 May
I have not yet booked a hotel in Calcutta and was wondering if you had any recommendations. I would like a clean place with WIFI Lan if possible and maximum cost of circa 100 Euros ($130) although less would be better. I will be consulting the Internet in the next few days. Bed and breakfast would also be ok. Had a great time in Toronto in one last year!
I have never been to Calcutta (New Delhi at least 6-7 times)so I am quite excited. I would love to meet you and take you to dinner. Please give me your phone number. I suppose I will get a SIM card in Mumbai which I hope I can use all over INDIA ? I have two e-mails: j.marshall@chello.at and johninvienna@yahoo.com - I use the first more, but if you send to both or to LT plus chello, I should get it in any case.
I understand there is a street or district with bookshops in Calcutta and would love to go there - perhaps we could do it together.
The main part of the trip will be in NAGALAND. I am accompanying Dr. Christian Schicklgruber; he will arrive in Calcutta on 2 April and we meet at the airport for the further flight. We will be having a large exhibition on Nagaland (7 or 8 rooms) in November of this year in Vienna. We have one of the largest collections of this area assembled by Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf in the 1930's. Purpose of this expedition is to find out some additonal facts about our objects as well a to collect some modern items to show the change in society [from headhunters to pious Catholics].
I, myself, am interested in the Hindu religion and would be very thankful if you could recommend some temples in Calcutta which I could visit! Will there be any celebrations during my stay?
The April stay in Nagaland has been planned for some time, but after your nice note I decided to also visit Calcutta and really do hope we can see each other. I would love to have you here in Vienna - perhaps during our Naga exhibition. Our museum has a large collection of religious items from India and I know you would have a great time here.
Please let me know if you get this and I certainly hope we can meet this month.
greetings from Vienna, John
