No.4966 with Bank of Baroda Limited<br />

Reclamation Branch Sachivalaya,<br />

Bombay-l<br />

Due to my absence <strong>from</strong> India the<br />

pr<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g works are suspended and now I<br />

wish to beg<strong>in</strong> itaga<strong>in</strong> on hear<strong>in</strong>g <strong>from</strong> you .<br />

The th<strong>in</strong>g is that I am try<strong>in</strong>g here to establish<br />

one Temple of Sri Sri Radha <strong>Krishna</strong><br />

and one big <strong>in</strong>dustrialist of India has<br />

promised to pay for the cost. But there is<br />

difficulty oflndian exchange. So I am try­<br />

<strong>in</strong>g to get the exchange santioned through<br />

some friend <strong>in</strong> India and if I get the sanction<br />

then I shall rema<strong>in</strong> here for many<br />

more days. So <strong>in</strong> my absence I wish that<br />

you may take charge of sell<strong>in</strong>g the books<br />

<strong>in</strong> India. Please let me know if there is any<br />

possibility of your tak<strong>in</strong>g such charge. So<br />

far my experience is concerned this publication<br />

can be <strong>in</strong>troduced <strong>in</strong> all colleges<br />

and universities of India. If you have successfully<br />

worked out the bus<strong>in</strong>ess <strong>in</strong> your<br />

own Maharaste prov<strong>in</strong>ce as it is recommended<br />

by the Director of Education,<br />

then it will be possible for you also for<br />

other prov<strong>in</strong>ces. In Rajasthan and Delhi it<br />

is already recommended and similarly it<br />

could be recommended <strong>in</strong> all other prov<strong>in</strong>ces.<br />

If you have not as yet deposited the<br />

sales proceeds k<strong>in</strong>dly do it now immediately<br />

on receipt of this letter because I<br />

have to pay to the Press wala before beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the 4th , 5th and the 6th parts at once.<br />

Also please let me know if you can take<br />

charge of the sale for whole of India. If<br />

you take up then I shall not negotiate with<br />

others because <strong>in</strong> my absence some body<br />

must take charge of the sale otherwise<br />

what shall I do simply by pr<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

K<strong>in</strong>dly therefore treat this letter as urgent<br />

and reply it per return of post so that I<br />

1966 95<br />

can do the needful .<br />

Thank<strong>in</strong>g you <strong>in</strong> anticipation.<br />

Yo urs truly,<br />
