'Letter' from Iran's Jalili

"...POLITICO has learned that Ashton received a letter from Iranian nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili in late July/early August. But only one paragraph in what was described as a very long letter from Jalili dealt with the nuclear issue, a senior diplomat said Tuesday. 
Ashton responded to the paragraph in that letter in a communication back to Jalili to reiterate the desire of the international P5+1 group to resume talks with Iran about its nuclear program, the diplomat said. But as yet, she has not received a phone call from Jalili to schedule such a meeting.
